Author Message   Buellmeister57 Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 09:13 am:        I was looking at an 09 XB12XT the other day. The windshield was taller and had a curve at the top. Is this the "tall" windshield offered on the Buell website? I couldn't tell from the picture if it was curved like the one on the XT.   Gamdh Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 09:23 am:        Don't have the Buell tall screen but used to have a Cee-Baily that had a flip at the top .. it was bigger than the stocker. It its a Cee-Baily you should see their name etched at the bottom of the screen. The flip also disturbs the air flow and increases turbulence. Hopefully someone with a Buell Tall will chime in a confirm/deny for sure.   Rwven Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 09:38 am:        Yes, that was the tall offered on the Buell website. I have one on my XT. I also ordered a short, but it's still in the wrapper....   Thrux181 Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 09:38 am:        I had one. It is the same. Remember when it comes to windshields your height and inseam are the big factors. Inseam being one of the bigger.   Fung Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 10:33 am:        I have the tall, and just cut 2 inches off the top. Im 5'9 & 30" inseam Its working well for me. I have the palmer brakets too. I'm way happy now. Somthing to think about.... eh?   Cryptkickerxxx Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 07:52 pm:        I just put a Cee-Baily on my bike and I liked it. It's 4" taller that the tall Uly windshield and a lot wider. You do get a little more turbulence but you stay a lot drier in the rain. Plus It looks kinda cool.   Buellmeister57 Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 08:06 pm:        Thanks for the information, I kinda liked the looks of the XT screen. What Gamdh made sense about the flip causing turbulence. I'm just looking for a little more protection than the stock Uly screen provides. 6'2"-34" inseam.   Gamdh Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 08:11 pm:        Buellmeister Your about the same size as me... I currently have the madstad bracket and in the hot weather I use the stock screen and in the cold weather I use the 16" Parabellum. I did a lot of experiments... could not find one wind shield that would do what I wanted. So, down to 2 shields with the adjustable mount. Works good for me. You might want to do a search as well.. there are a lot of threads about windshields.   Buellmeister57 Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 09:12 pm:        Too many choices! After owning a Cyclone for 8+ years, I'm not used to all this aftermarket stuff that's available for my Uly!   Gamdh Posted on Sunday, August 02, 2009 - 09:16 pm:        all part of the fun
