I´ve heard the wind hits you like the Bandit does if you´re over 6´. Also, It´s pretty easy to have a custom windscreen made, using the stock bracket. Try the Google.com search engine for German sites (Google will translate the German into a semi-understandable English), where they´ve been riding the FJR 1300 for over a year now. Send an email and many of the Germans speak English and will respond. I ordered my FJR last week for summer delivery also!
