Never worked for me. The back pressure from the stock shield was murder on me, n matter the position. It really tired me out on long trips. I ordered a CalSci within about a week of buying the Concours. That eliminated the back pressure.
There are lots of factors that will affect backpressure- sitting height, body angle, sitting position (fore/aft), speed, top box present or not/type, wind direction/speed, even jacket type (possibly also panniers on/off). So experience with how much backpressure is reduced with the stock windscreen by raising it a bit will vary. But in my case, it is acceptable when screen is raised about 1.5" or so to allow more air under it.
Also, there is considerably less backpressure on the Gen 2 vs. Gen 1 (based on feedback I have seen and design changes that were specifically made to address the issue- bash venting, screen design). And probably even less on the last models (Gen 2.1) with the stock screen that has the "mailbox slot".
