Does it make any difference having a taller screen or is it best just to stick to the standard one on a gen 2?

I could not tell you about the taller sceens on a tuono but I have experience of taller screens on a benelli tnt
First thing to find out is where the windblast hits you. eg in the chest or neck
A taller screen will move this up, how much would be by basically how high the screen is
The tnt wind blast hit me in the chest and it was a constant blast and at motorway speeds [cough] this got tiring and sore on the arms
Fitting a taller screen made the blast turbulent and it hit me in the neck
At motorway speeds this made the helmet noisy and the neck gets colder and sore with the turbulence
The same screen for the wife made the blast go over her visor as the standard screen hit her in the neck before and slighlty more turbulent air but she likes that better
Two other things to note are I never felt windblast a problem while on the twisties as im concentrating more i suppose and The direction of the wind makes a big difference to what blast you get.
I dont know if any of the above answers your question but hopefully it helps you decide what you want from a screen

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
B1, whit height are you? I'm a bit of a short *** at 5' 10" and it does make life a bit easier.
I've noticed that my puig has a couple of cracks in it, they're at the sides of the screen and you need to look hard to see them.
I'm sure someone posted the same prob on the old forum!
In my case it might jist be the amount of midge that strike it on an evening run?

Fook knows
A decent lid and a jacket without Dynasty style shoulders would be a good investment for the T. The Ermax is about the only one that makes any difference imho as its a bit wider but none are that good really.
My Aria Condor seems to be the best for m/ways.

For me i love my arai, only the cheapest one a condor but it still fits me so well, the shoei are im sure great lids but pushed against my forehead.

I think there is a lot of truth to the opinion that you either have a Shoei shaped head or an Arai one. I cant get on with Aria's they are either too small and give me a headache or too loose and I get lift.
Put a puig on mine, and does help with.wind blast, am 5 9 and helped when i did a 130 mile round trip on the m25 for 2 months, it wasn't night and day difference but saved the neck muscles, if you scoop forward a little it's even better. I too have the small cracks around the bolt holes, not too impressed with the puig, but can't get hold of an ermax! Don't use it now, only for expected long motorway journeys.
