Windscreen spoilers

[NeuroticAnt]

I am greedy and finally have x3 screens for my 21 plate 1250GSA, I'm 6'2", use a Neotec 2 Lid, and the seat settings are high at front and low at back., No screens have and additional fixtures to aid in wind flow.

1) Puig touring screen used for the heights of winter
2) The standard screen used for spring and autumn
3) The small screen used for summer

This is the first year I have be able to use all 3, and in all honesty, I may just ditch the standard screen and use the touring screen for winter and the small screen the rest of the year.
The buffering was bearable with screens number 1&2, but on changing to the small screen. The wind hits squarely in the chest, no more buffering, a decrease in wind noise (I use custom fitted ear plugs) and I can travel with the lid up, sunglasses on (drop down visor increases buffering), enjoying as I plod along at 70

Didn’t know you could alter seat higher / lower at the front and rear

Yeah, I find have the seat in this set up stops my hips being tilted forward and giving me the feeling of being thrust forward into the tank

They do work.
I had, for a long time, struggled with wind noise on my 2007GSA. The wind "breaks" just on top of my helmet (I'm 6'3", high seat), and from 30mph onwards the noise was almost unbearable.
Tried different screens, at the end the Wunderlich spoiler sorted it out and I started enjoying the bike again.

I and the TT spoiler too, but the Wunderlich works better because it is offset (like those tobinators) a bit from the main screen.

Sounds you have a similar struggle, I'd test a couple.

The shorter the screen the better for the taller riders. You want the wind hitting you in the chest.

I just bought a smaller screen for my bike R1200GSA, removed the taller touring screen, even removed the OEM bark busters from front of the levers, to allow more wind at my gloved hands.
Smaller screen for summer use, and the roads I will be on max. 40-50 mph will suit.

Noticed out of stock, but more on there way.

Agree.
Bike rides better too.
I remove the screen completely when greenlaning with the GS and it's like riding a different bike.

Only issue: I still want the large screen when traveling. Haven't yet found a smaller version that looks good to be fair, or gives me decent protection on longer/mixed weather trips.

My Kawasaki GTR1400 fitted with a V Stream windscreen was great for both, with its factory standard electrical sliding windscreen holder, low for hot days and tall for touring in all weathers.

I found it out after much trial and error with my Multi Strada 1200. It was unrideable with the standard screen. I must have tried 5 screens and a huge windsail from Eagle Screens in Aus.
In the end I used a Palmers Products screen mount and a givi screen with wing to push the air further away and on to my chest.
Anywhere near the neck and you'll get loads of noise and buffering.

I am 6'2" and use the Wunderlich screen extender and ride with a Schuberth C3pro helmet. With the screen in the high position I can ride with the visor fully open @ 70mph no problem (I do wear glasses).
The only problem I have is when riding in the wet as the airflow does not clear the helmet and visor of water which allows water to run down on the inside of the visor causing it to steam up. My solution is to either fold the screen extender down or if it looks like a full day of rain remove it completely (a 1 min job).
