Yeah GIVI makes taller windscreens for the Reflex. I have a few points for you to
consider regarding a taller windscreen. Can you see just over the top of your current screen? Yes? That would be good. Windscreens can and do fog up enough to completely obscure the view. Also the windscreen can become difficult, if not impossible to safely see through in the rain. If you can't comfortably and safely sit upright enough to see just over the top of an obscured windscreen, you will then need to lean off to one side or the other to see where you are going which is not a good thing. A taller windscreen can make the bike a little more sensitive to wind gusts. And a taller one may also affect your fuel economy as well. By effecting a larger frontal area and increasing drag, your fuel economy can go down. A taller windscreen can be cut down to a size that may be a better fit for you if the stock windscreen is too short and the untrimmed GIVI is too tall. Seems like a pricey way to go when I myself would try to make my own DIY version of a laminar lip sort of device. I would make it so that it could be pushed down out of the way if it were causing the view to be obscured for whatever reason. Just my thoughts.
