2-Up Riders.. Question for you (and your passenger)

I have 2021, put on the F4 largest one they had. It has helped a lot but not like the Gen 5 for sure. But on my Gen 5, 2005 GL1800, I had the Tulsa x-tra tall. Of course, no fair comparison between the two. Wife says she likes that Tulsa on the 2005, better than the Gen 6. If F4 on their tallest/widest, would add another inch wider and taller current 24" wide, this would help with the overall buffeting. For me, I feel that it would push the air up and behind the passenger little better especially at interstate speed.

I have not put on the upper wind or lower deflectors yet. I have not decided on lowers as I have the Rivco flip out pegs and like to see how Kury or the show chrome feels or see if my leg interferes with them when stretched out on the pegs. I like the Kury (style/look) and hear that they will capture heat from the rads and redirect it to the cockpit. Don't know how much, but I really don't like the large amount of double-sided tape and once installed or how hard it is to remove for shelter / side panel removal. Looking at possibly modifying using push rivets instead of tape if I go with Kury lowers. Like the Honda uppers, but I only see them in clear. I don't really care for the Kury or show chrome uppers. (style/shape). I'd go with honda uppers and Kury lowers. (if i can find honda in smoke and if kury didn't hit my legs on the rivco pegs.)
