The Honda tall windscreen is 140mm taller and 80mm wider than the stock windscreen. While providing extra wind protection, it also introduced unwanted wind noise (whipping flag noise) for me (I'm 6'1").
Yesterday I took a jig saw to the screen and lopped off 4 inches from the top in hopes of eliminating the wind noise. Unfortunately I'm snowed in again with high temps in the low teens. However I'm pretty confident windscreen caused turbulence will miss my helmet based on my experience with the stock windscreen. With the stock screen I had to scrunch down pretty low in order to get the noise.
The modified screen extends 40mm more (about 1.6") than the stock screen on either side and on top, and I think it looks more sporting than the tall screen. At the same time it provides a little more wind protection to the chest area.
Here is a before and 2 after pictures.
Has anyone else done a similar modification to their windscreen?
