Default Aftermarket touring windscreens?

Hey folks, happy to report that I'm now a proud owner of a 2001 F4i, love the machine so far. I'm fighting the urge to upgrade the exhaust for now, but have to replace the wind screen, the stock one is in bad shape. I've found all kinds of replacements, but wondering if you know of a screen which is a bit higher than the OEM, thus offering a little more wind protection. I'm hoping to do a fair amount of touring this summer.....

Any tips would be really appreciated, thanks...

Anything double-bubble style is gonna be pretty much the highest and best option. I recommend Puig as they have the best fitment of any aftermarket windscreen. Can get them in different tints and colors as well.

Like Aken said, anything double bubble will be about the same. I just got one of the asian ones off eBay, and works and fits perfectly fine.

I went with a zero gravity dubble bubble over the winter, real easy to install, fit great, went with dark smoke and i think it looks real good. Cost me like 75 bucks off morepowerracing.com I think it was

Have any you guys tried this one?

It's a bit higher than the double bubble, I'm just concerned it may cause wind buffeting. I'm 5'8" if that helps. If no one knows I'll probably chance it anyway and report back.

Thanks to evryone for there input thus far...

There are a couple people on this forum that have the "sport touring" windscreen. Do a search and you should come up with some info.
