I'm 5"10 and i thought it was okay, but quite noisy because the airflow comes through the screen and also caused my helmet to be noisy also. My favourite screen is the flip puig.

I'm 6'3" and have the OEM streetfighter screen with no issues. The standard fairing seems to do a pretty good job of smoothing out turbulence and directing the main windblast over the rider. I often wonder how much of whatever problem it is that folks have that makes them search for screen Nirvana isn't caused by a badly designed aftermarket screen creating turbulence or an overly noisy helmet exaggerating wind noise, or both.

I have the MRA vario on my Gen 2 and i find it most agreeable when i dont the use the secondary upper screen and keep it folded down, im 5 foot 11.

I got one on my gen 1 and I have to say it's pretty good at about 80mph it give a bubble of still air around the front of my lid, which enables u to ride with ur visor open (if u wish, I don't though) and I'm 6ft 1, go a bit fast and it's gone.......although I wouldn't mind trying a double bubble screen but I'm not paying best part of £60 to find out so this will do for another yr.... :) they are expensive but think of it as a investment because u'll have no worries selling it on....

U can buy just the adjustable bits with the lip screen maybe worth getting one for ur stock screen (as the mra main screen isn't any different to the stock one) to see if it does anything for u....

I'm 6'4" and I reckon I've tried about 8 different screens on my Fazer including the MRA one. My main issue isn't the wind blast but the noise, after trying so many I've reverted back to the original, it's the best of a bad lot.
