I have a short torso.My friends say I'm a chest with legs. My84 FJ screen seems to direct the wind blast right at my head causing a huge amount of buffeting. I read somewhere that 86 and newer had lower windscreens to get around this problem. Can I retro fit a later screen to my 84? Or just trim my present screen?

No, the 84/85 windscreens are different from the 86/87 because the fairings are different.
You can cut down your windscreen or look for the aftermarket screens that have a +2 or +4 inch extension.
I think Pat is right that you should try the taller screens. I have an 84 fj and an 86 fj . I find the fj1100 is more comfortable and does a better job of keeping the buffeting off my head.
I'm the opposite torso length though. I'm a little over six foot with 32 inch pant leg length .
there are two options. I prefer to be completely above the turbulence so the Zero Gravity wind screen works for me on my '85.
