So my relatively new to me FJR stock windscreen does not cut it raised all the way up. The air hits me at about eye level. I'm definitely going to replace it before I do any long highway cruises. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm considering a V-Stream Like this, although it does look a little funky. Any other FJR riders 6'2" or taller use any other product that keeps the wind off?

Not an FJR rider, but am 6'2" and have run in to similar on almost every bike I've owned. You may want to try one of those clip on adjustable deflectors before changing the shield. They've typically done it for me if the stock screen is close.

I'm 5'11". I like the Yamaha Touring. For you I would suggest the tallest V-Stream. I had the medium and it was a touch to short. If you need measurements or anything, let me know.

Oh, I have some nylon bolts that connect the windscreen if you need any.

I second this. 👆 The "clip-on" 2-3" extenders will do the trick if you're at eye level with wind now. They usually have a steeper angle of deflection as well so it will likely move airflow over your head. simple to mount and relatively cheap (much cheaper than a new windscreen at least). Try this first. Example: Justech Motorbike Wind Deflector Motorcycle Windscreen Adjustable Clip On Windshield Extension Universal for Motorcycle Racing Bike -Transparent

On my1200GSA I used a small extension attached with industrial velcro that was fantastic! I forget the mfr but will look. It was a perfect solution.
 
Contact Member Stickman and ask him he knows what kind of shield he has on his FJR.. I rode his bike and I'm just over 6 foot and at the highest position it was actually a little tall for me.
