I have a 2019. I looked at Rifle but the didn’t have one for this gen. I got a CalSci screen. When fully up had massive buffeting due to the nose almost touching the fairing. I wool tufted inside and out to see what was going on. The screen was too vertical in all positions. I designed and printed stand-offs to lift and angle the screen backwards. The nose gap and the reduced incidence allowed a flow along the inside of the screen. No buffeting. I printed the rail stand-offs in ABS. So far over at least 35K miles, temperatures 22 to 104F and into triple digits (occasionally) it works. The screen in the tall version so the loading on the rails is not insignificant.
The geometry of the rails is complex. Hope this helps.
