Tall Rider+Short Screen=No Luck?

[ESquared]

I believe I've ridden enough bikes (with and without windscreens) to know the answer to this question, but I'm new to Triumphs, so I'm hoping one of you taller members (6'3"+) can share your experiences.
I'm 6'5" and I know my T120Black isn't a tourer, AND I'd never put a huge screen on it anyway, but I'm just wondering if any of you tall guys have had any luck with any of the shorter "flyscreens" (Triumph or Dart) in getting more comfortable/less buffeted at 65-70MPH.
Based on what I've read all over the Web, the shorties are more cosmetic than anything to begin with, and those that recommend them for wind control seem to always note that it may take the pressure off of your chest, but it simply moves it up your torso to your head, which, to me, isn't much of a solution.
As my thread Title implies, I'm thinking I'm out of luck, but if any of you believe otherwise, please chime in!

Yep , the short screens are designed to keep the bugs off the front of the clocks .

Hubby is 6’4” and has the same bike with aDart Marlin screen. No problem using it.

I have a T120 and am using Dart screen, but I am 5’4” (height challenged)

Unfortunately I am only 5 8 BUT I have a 'thing' about poor screens. I have the triumph long haul screen on my T120 , and it works reasonably well for something that doesn't have all the attributes of a proper well designed screen ----I can be visor up to about 50 , so yes you are taller but with the screen working without serious turbulence its a good starting point----I have a short MRA X screen which clamps onto the top and that extends reasonable comfort to 'fast'. Its not ideal of course but neither is it bad. It would be worth trying the larger MRA X-----I note that there are a lot of bikes of all kinds out there using them, (saw three today----two big Ducatis and a GS) Now the real secret with these is that you DON'T use them like an 'extension' you angle them to direct the airflow either by deflection or by reversing the angle and use it to speed up and smooth out the airflow over the centre of your screen----its just like a wing fence on a big jet. They ain't expensive and worth a go.

I am 5' 9" and just purchased the Givi universal airstream fairing , I have it on the lowest setting and the air turbulence is minimal
I have the same 2 pc fairing on my 2018 Vstrom 1000 and it is a very smooth air stream that comes over the top
The parts are top quality and it does not not move or vibrate , took it up to 100 mph with no issues
hope this helps

I'm 6'3" and have a 22" Madstad and it blocks the wind better than any windshield that I've had on any bike over the last 45+years. I just ordered an 18" shield from them because I need to see over the screen and made a mistake ordering a tinted shield.
Obviously the past sport bikes and sport tourers were capable of double the speed and acceleration then the Triumph. Guess maybe the shield works so well because I'm riding at 50% of the speeds I'm accustomed to.

I forgot to add the engineer (Mark) is designing me a custom screen not offered online. They're a great company and can
build anything you want. Don't save a hundred buying some clamp-on crap to save a few bucks. Take care

A buddy rides a HD Sportster. He's got a windscreen that isn't really, but it does have at the top is a little flip up, sort of like this:

exactly right-----I see so many set upright like a fence----they need to be set as 'flow directors' ---just like wing fences or wing slats on aircraft wings.

I am 5' 9" , but I bought the universal Givi airstream handle bar mounted fairing in clear, for my 2022 T120 in black , it has 2 parts which slide with a range of about 6"
I run it almost at the bottom of the range and it is at least 4" below my line of sight
it flows very smoothly and is rock solid even at 160 k
I bought it thru Fortnine in Canada
check it out, I have the same fairing on my 2019 Suzuki 1000 vstrom with the same results
