Bought Givi. Installed Givi. Love Givi.
Lost some of the cool aesthetics due to the Givi windscreen being so much taller and wider than the screen my 400 came with. Also, the different aerodynamic qualities of the Givi create some backpressure and thereby increase the amount of noise at the lower end of the hearing spectrum; my eardrums were more tired at the end of today's ride, if you know what I mean. And I suppose I'll have given up some miles-per-gallon.
However, riding is now soooo much more comfortable around my head that I'm still delighted with the modification. No more ducking down to avoid gusts! No more feeling like my helmet's going to be sucked off at speeds over 45 MPH!
It was U.S. $120 extremely well spent. If it helped lil' ol' me, at just 5-feet 7-inches tall, it would certainly help you taller riders out there.

P.S. I opted for the Givi, rather than the Laminar Lip, because the Givi also gives me some wind protection for my hands. But I bet that the Lip would be a big help, too.
