I hate to tell you, I have the Mikeshields 17" Euro and I'm only 5'9" and because the front end is low on the ninja, the windshield does not reduce wind noise. If I crouch down on my seat it directs air over me, or if I lean forward so my helmet is a few inches from the shield, wind noise goes down. But sitting normally, not any quieter. A little less wind on the chest and so a little more relaxed. Think of it as freeway bird protection. If I had known, I would have custom ordered a taller windshield from that guy (who is super unreliable in my experience, but he did eventually ship it!)

I also want to try the Buell footpegs, I also have a cx500 and going from that bike to the ninja makes me realize how cramped my legs are on the ninja. The big drawback is I do alot of twisties and not a great rider but I have scraped pegs and so the lower footpeg will now further reduce my clearance... I guess depending on how easily they swap in and out, I could always go back and forth.
