I'm 6'4" and have the Triumph tall screen on my ST.  Wind blast hits me
right on the face shield, which makes for lots of wind noise, but I love
the protection the shield affords, especially in wet or cool weather,
in which I did about 1200 miles this past weekend.  Also, I get a weird
vortex at about 90mph indicated that tries to lift my helmet off, but
that's solved by tucking in.

Here's the screen comparo:
