I bought the Laminar Lip for stock screen for my 2010 (Gen 2 FJR). If you bike is Gen 2, you should be ok. According this this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FJR1300 you bike is Gen 2.

I do not have experience with the stock shield -- the shield I used the Lip on was stock but "chopped". In this case, I believe it is at least 2" more above the chopped shield given that I placed the Laminar Lip very high on the shield. I think you will have to experiment to get the optimal placement. I have extra fasteners so you can try a few times -- I'll confirm exactly how many I have.

Full disclosure: Obviously, I bought the Vstream and this worked great. The only use of this Laminar Lip was when I was running the chopped stock shield. It will serve the same purpose for normal stock shield. If I had to only have 1, I would choose Vstream shield. But there are days when it's just hot and I want wind and that chopped shield was the best (except for long highway rides). The stock shield plus the Lip could be a decent compromise if you like the stock shield.

[QUOTE="Dennis in NH, post: 1379205, member: 27481"] I bought the Laminar Lip for stock screen for my 2010 (Gen 2 FJR). If you bike is Gen 2, you should be ok. According this this: [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FJR1300"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FJR1300[/URL] you bike is Gen 2. I do not have experience with the stock shield -- the shield I used the Lip on was stock but "chopped". In this case, I believe it is at least 2" more above the chopped shield given that I placed the Laminar Lip very high on the shield. I think you will have to experiment to get the optimal placement. I have extra fasteners so you can try a few times -- I'll confirm exactly how many I have. Full disclosure: Obviously, I bought the Vstream and this worked great.
