 I don't have a recommendation, but I just picked up one from powerbronze. Supposed to be 17" tall as opposed to 13"
 for stock 1 G.
 I haven't recieved it yet, doesn't look like it will be here for Xmas.

 Here is one place to look.     GOOD LUCK

I tried a few when I had my 05 B1200 and settled on the Zero Gravity touring windscreen, wish they made one for my B1250.

I have the Suzuki OEM taller screen which I like, with one caveat:  the windblast is now on the upper half of my helmet, which is fine but noisy.  Not a big deal to me as I almost always wear earplugs.  I'm 6'2" though so might be different for you.

For touring I'd probably go with the ZG Sport Touring model as well.

Most of the rest of them that are readily available (like the Givi, the Suzuki aftermarket, and the ZG Double Bubble) are only about 2" taller than stock.

The 3 ZG screen sizes...

For what it's worth, I put Suburban Machinery bars on my bike.  That change made the stock screen sufficient, and I removed my touring screen.  I have no problem riding 12+ hr days.

I need to send Zero Gravity's CEO an email and ask him how long is he going to let the windscreen development guru slough off not getting a touring wind screen punched out for the B1250.  I mean its not like they don't already have a good template with the B1200 design.

I picked up the ZG touring shield used for about $35 and I love it. Better hand protection, less bugs on the helmet, and allot less highway fatigue.  I'm 5'8" and have stock risers and bars.
