I finally cut down my 16" screen this weekend to 12 inches. It has made a world of difference in the airflow. The wind hits me at the chest and has significantly reduced the wind noise in my helmet and the buffeting. I am going to ride it like this for a couple of weeks to determine if I need to trim another inch. I used a small skill saw to make the cut. It worked beautifully. I can't believe it took me over 2 years to figure this out.

This is the same effect that I got from my sport screen from clearview.

I do a lot of touring and have found that if traffic isn't too hairy, tucking under my tall OEM screen and resting against a tank bag full of underwear, socks and t-shirts can be a very comfortable and stable way to ride

If not riding 2-up, using the rear pegs from time to time helps keep the knees from aching. If traffic is light enough to do so.

I'm 6'5" with a vented Clearview XL, Corbin seat and Genmar riser. Vast improvement over stock set up. During the summer, however, a sport screen may be an option to benefit from the cooling wind blast.

Up to about 180 km/h the 12" sportsscreen from clearview works ok, there is wind, but no buffeting. Above 190 km/h the bike starts to create a slight wobble feeling, it stops when you tuck yourself around the tank, the wind is gone,but the wobbly feeling reappers around 210 km/h. This was with fully loaded bike, one up, with both sidebags loaded, a big topbox and tankbag.
And no, in norway we dont ride in these speeds unless you want your licence to disappear in a flash.
