Curious to see what the updates are and if it�s worth converting my 22� order to a 23�, although not sure I want to wait as mine is now out of production and hopefully shipping

Ref the RS, they state �It�s also around half an inch taller than the existing version, perhaps indicating a change to the windshield design�.
Perhaps all the complaining on forums about the terrible screen has had an effect�.

It needs a windscreen design, but if my experiences are any guide, going higher may have the effect of making the situation worse. Hope not...looking to get a '23, if I can.

If it's a change to the windscreen design to move the nav cradle to a better position above the TFT, that would be a big improvement.

What you think that they could design one windscreen that fits every different size of rider?
I have changed the screen on the GFs S1000XR to a shorter one to eliminate the wind noise and the turbulence, it worked.

Perhaps not "every size of rider", but given the huge number of complaints about the standard screen it would not be unreasonable to think they would try and improve it.

It's kind of funny, really...so many riders have discovered that lower screens work better in reducing/eliminating buffeting and turbulent, noisy air, yet manufacturers in their infinite wisdom, if they offer "accessory" windscreens...it's alway taller! And, of course, there's always the claim that the screens they offer were "developed in wind-tunnel testing".

Go figure...

Just remember that the huge number of complains is nowhere near as big of the number of riders who are happy and say nothing. Ten people in a thousand will sound very loud when the other 990 are happy and silent.
