First Gear makes some of their riding gear in tall sizes. (Read: jackets with long enough arms. I'm 6'4".)

Went through a few of 'em over the years.I'm 6'4", and put a Clearview +9 on my KLR a few years ago. It raised the edge of the turbulent zone up to helmet level, which made things worse rather than better. The screen would probably need another 4" to 6" of height to put the air well over my helmet, and I don't want that much of a barn door on the front of the bike. With the stock screen my helmet is in clear air, and that's the way I ride it now.
