Lots of variables. What you want out of a screen being #1, and your height being #2.

I bought mine with the stock screen but it didn't take long for me to decide to switch to Triumphs Touring screen. I went with Triumphs screen because of a bad experance with aftermarket screens on a different bike.

The reason I switched is that at high speeds (80+) I was getting a lot of helmet lift from the windblast unless I tucked in. The touring screen eliminated this. I still get lots of windblast but it brought it up just enough to largely eliminate the lifting effect on the helmet during normal interstate speeds.

I did notice *slightly* more buffeting effect when following the wash of 18 wheelers but that is entirely normal, the larger something is the more effect wind is going to have on it.

I'm happy with the choice. YMMV.
