Tried it on my 05 B1200 and it made a bad situation worse in my case. I ended up send the product back and had to call twice to remind them of the refund agreed to a month after received it. After that I gave the Zero Gravity touring wind screen a try and it worked excellent, placing the wind blast above my head. I was going to buy another for my B1250 but that don't make one for the B1250.

I had a Laminar Lip Touring Style on my 2006 B12S. I'm 6 feet exactly with a normal length torso and arms. The Lip on my stock screen (which, of course, is somewhat different than the 2G screen you have) worked as advertised but......as far as I'm concerned, it was designed for someone 5'9" or shorter. The Lip moved the windblast up from my upper chest to my face. I wear an open face helmet so this was NOT an improvement FOR ME. I took the stock screen off and put a Givi Touring screen on in its place. The Givi moved the windblast up to my forehead sooooo.....if I can figure out how to mount the Lip on the Givi I'll have it made. Unfortunately, the Lip, being designed for the stock screen, is curved wrongly for the Givi screen. I'm still trying to figure out how to overcome this problem.

I had the exact same results and I'm 5' 11, lets just say that I didn't need to say cheese to have a picture taken while riding. You should have immediately contacted the company and sent it back. For what it cost wind blast to the chest is far better. My B1250 stock wind screen was a big improvement over my B1200 stock wind screen screen as it puts the wind blast at my forehead. I'm hoping the double bubble screen I received today will move it wind blast on my B1250 above head.

I was thinking of ordering one, but I'm not confident that it will fit my aftermarket (Powerbronze) screen. Don't really like the asthetics of it anyway or that it will work for me.

Mine works great, but reading the other's size I'm seeing why.  I'm 6'6" and the wind hits below my collar bone so adds a bit of support for my upper body.

I've also got one on my ST1100, and the SO loves it.  By raising the airflow she says she doesn't get bobble head, like she did with only the stock screen.  Don't know about how it'll effect passengers on the Bandit, she says the seats too small after getting used to the ST.

I installed a laminar lip on my 03 B12, but removed it after a week.  It had little effect on airflow, either good or bad.  I'm 5'9" and with the stock windscreen, the air strikes me about neck/collar level.  With the laminar, airflow was directed about chin height.
