Just fitted a laminar lip to the screen on my 2008 1200GS Adventure and been for a couple of runs with 2 different seats. I'm well impressed, with just the standard screen I could ride visor open up to 20-25 mph, now I can ride at any speed visor open. Before, the noise was very intrusive and earplugs were a must, now, I can ride without earplugs if I want. I have an Arai Astro J helmet and I am just on 6ft tall.
Ive fitted the lip in pretty much the highest position I could, this adds approx 8cm to the height of the screen and around 0.5 to 2cm to the sides. Riding with the standard seat there is no noise until I put my visor down, the airflow seems to start hitting about forehead height, the noise is so much more reduced than with the standard screen. Riding with a standard touratech (Kaheedo) seat (approx 1 inch lower than standard), there is virtually no noise visor down and the airlflow skims the top of my helmet.
The lip comes with velcro stick pads already affixed and a few spare for adding height adjustments, fixing was done in 5 mins. As I already run with the screen in highest position I still have adjustment to lower the screen using the adjusters as well as adding more velcro fixings if I want.
The lip doesn't seem to have affected front end handling and doesn't provide any vision worries so far.
A top buy so far from http://shop.heroblobs.co.uk/collections/bmw-r1200gs/products/laminar-lip-for-bmw-r1200gs-1 for £71.00 all in.

). Bike was almost unrideable before - but the lip removed the head battering. Still need ear plugs tho. Maybe I should stick the exhaust back on?
