I'm only 5'8" and before I even took possession of the bike I had them throw in a taller Honda screen. Negotiate, the price of a new screen is not that much. I'd be more concerned with her inseam length and her ability to reach the ground and hold up a relatively heavy bike.
The OEM windshield does one thing well. It provides an uninterrupted; non-buffeted flow of air to your head.
Some folks like that. But at highway speeds; hearing the tunes from the OEM speakers will be a problem.

I am 5' 9" and test rode the F6B with the stock shield and was not happy...First thing I did was go to the Baggershield adjustable windshield and it works great for me...Very happy with the low wind noise and no turbulence on the road....
When I first got my bike, I was actually ok with the stock shield, coming from a bike that had nothing. Even the Klockwerks I have isn't great, but it looks a lot better.

stock windshield is ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I had to wear a FF and i hated every minute of it. So much noise. Terrible.
It looks really cool, though.
Not an issue if you wear a full face helmet and keep the visor closed.
I found the stock one too low for winter riding, so bought a tall that I use in winter, then bought a short, but taller than stock for summer. It works for me. We can ride year round since winter is mostly rainy or cloudy.
