Yes it is tall. But when it is all the way down I'm looking over the top, (I'm about 6' tall). When it is all the way up, you are looking through the windshield and visor. I found I got used to that quickly and I did like the great wind protection of the taller windshield, but 90% of my riding is around town or canyons so I prefer a short windshield.
So that's why it's for sale.
