this is 44cm tall so might do a better job, has anyone tried one or knows of a screen that works?

I am 6'2 & use a Puig double bubble which over all is very good but I DO get head & shoulders buffeting on the motorway unless I tuck down.
Generally speaking, nothing but a touring bike with full screen will stop that, but the screen you've found looks like it should do the trick.
It seems like a good & tall screen without going too wide.
I've not seen it before, is it made by/for the eBay vendor?
Purely personally speaking, I think that large screens look wrong on bikes like the Fazer, but I sympathise with the need for a decent screen!

I am 6ft and will be very interested in any results you can report if you buy the screen your'e loooking at.
I've tried Fabbri double bubble, Yam o.e screen (and cutting it down to fly screen size),Powerbronze double bubble with no joy...gonna try the fabbri with
5mm spacers see if that makes a difference...

Agree completely but going to Ireland for the NW200 again this year, leaving Manchester ride up to CairnRyan for the short crossing to Belfast (my mate does not do boats too well) just fancy a bit more protection from the windblast, get back from trip will be back to short double bubble again

I Had one of these for a short period of time. If you can get over the looks it does a great job.
easily hold a ton plus without wind blast, keeps you warm and dry ish as well

Its really tall 52cm but as you rightly said fugly, have to do a bit of serious thinking, found supplier in UK £117 delivered :eek

Hope these give you a bit more of an idea as to how the screen looks.

for touring I reckon that's a great screen :rolleyes I don't think it's too bad... it's windblast pottering about for a days riding that does my head in :eek

Ive tried a load of the screens and by far the best , although probably the most costly, is the madstad screen.
