Hey all
I have the OEM touring screen for my 2022 MT but it's gives me worse wind blast than without it.
Are they're any alternatives available to suit taller riders? Think 198cm\6'7".
As I purchased mine just after release, there weren't any alternatives until now.

I'm about 10 inches shorter than you so what's working for me right now (The mid height windscreen made by Yamaha) is probably not going to work with you. I have been very happy with it but still may get occasional head buffeting so it's almost certainly not going to work for you.
I would recommend maybe looking at the Puig Touring Plus screen. I purchased it and immediately returned it because it was pretty ridiculously big for me, but I'm thinking someone your size may benefit from it.

What did you end up getting? I'm 6'5", long in the torso, and would love to hear if you found something that worked for you. Finding gear that fits is a major challenge - I love my jacket (it's just barely long enough), but it's begun flapping between the neck and shoulders at speed (making for a TON of noise). I'm hoping a windscreen could deflect enough to minimize that without causing a stronger headblast. The Puig Touring Plus isn't available for gen2 mt10s, but a similar model is - www.cyclegear.com/parts/puig-touring-naked-new-generation-windscreen-yamaha-mt-10-sp-2022-2023Does anyone tall have experience with this combination?

I have the Puig touring for the 2nd gen. I'm 6'0" with a longer torso and it basically takes all the wind off the main part of my body. So just the top part of my chest and shoulders are hit with wind. Unless there's some sort of crosswind the airflow is pretty clean. It looks decent in person, fits with the lines of the bike.
Also when you put the big screen on there you'll have to find the position that fits for you and tighten down the adjusters that hold the bracket to the headlight assembly. There's 2 on the top and one on the bottom, I cranked the bottom one down and it works pretty well.

I'm 6' 3" I picked up a 2022 MT-10 last week, immediately put on the OEM screen and took a 300 mile trip. While I appreciated that it moved the wind blast off my chest (it was 50 degrees out), it directs the wind right to my helmet. It doesn't produce much buffeting, but it does increase wind noise materially. Despite trying to shift positions, I'm not able to fully tuck in behind it for any period of time. I too am interested in whether the Puig might offer better wind flow/protection for tall riders. The dimensions of the two screens are quite similar, but it appears the Puig angles a bit more up vs. the OEM curving toward the rider. If so, it's possible, it pushes the air slightly higher and might offer little bigger pocket. Sounds like kinnanigans has had success. Any other riders try the Puig touring? |

I'm super short, so I don't think we will have a comparable experience. But I have the puig touring screen and it's been great to me so far. It's perfect at higher speeds, allows me to hide behind it and not get blasted in the face with wind. For me, it was 100% worth the purchase. Here's a few pictures of what it looks like for me (gopro is mounted to chin)    |
