Having come from the Tmax 500, the air management on the 530 was much better in comparison. At my brother's height, 5'6", the stock screen was pretty good for him, although he missed the hand/shoulder/body protection that his GIVI Airflo gave him on his 2009 Tmax 500.
Low sport screens are ill-suited for the semi-touring rider position on the Tmaxes; too much wind pressure and noise. Big touring screens are too much, act like sails in the wind, and are a pain to look through/around.
So, we came up with a solution; get a GIVI touring screen, with hand & arm protection, and cut it down to the same height as a stock Tmax 500 wind screen.The results were brilliant, it worked wonderfully well, and it actually integrated itself into the lines/design of the Tmax 530 BETTER than the original screen! Check it out:

...and these pictures...

Cutting it with a jigsaw worked much better than this method: GIVI in Canada had it for $185.00 Canadian, plus shipping. Carpimoto in Italy got it to us in California in 10 days, for $150, including shipping. That's a Great Deal!
