    Does anyone have any windscreen recommendations for someone 5’5” for the 2020 model? i would like the wind to go over my helmet if possible. I’m currently interested in the MRA and power bronze (tall). Thanks

    Any of the taller screens will work for you. I’m 6’ 6” and all the tall screens did for me was direct the wind at my chin. As you’re over a foot shorter, that should mean it’ll go over your head.

    I have OEM tall windscreen and its perfect: head is in clean stream of air, but im 192cm tall (6 foot 3-4). Shorter riders complain about that screen because air hits them in the helmet and produce buffeting. So, no OEM tall windcreen for you. You need much taller screen than OEM tall screen for what you described. Not much help, but just one Screen to be taken from the List in your case.

    Sorry for bad english

    Thanks. I am thinking about the power bronze tall. https://www.powerbronze.co.uk/kawasaki-z900-20-21-400-mm-430-u283a.html

    That looks like it would do the job, I like the shape too. Another option you mentioned is the MRA. Those that have bought it are generally happy with its performance.
