I have a R1200GS Adventure, 2007.
Seat in the high position.
I'm 6'3".
Screen usually in the lowest position (best compromise).
The wind noise is insane. Always been. Makes my tinnitus worse after riding and it is actually painful (pressure) with earplugs in.
In recent years I used the Wunderlich flap, but it makes the front of the bike vibrate cyclically and, especially on longer rides, makes my head in. Stopped using it.
The annoying fact is that the wind noise is extremely strong at 40mph already.
Last week I had to go through the M4, all at 50mph, and it was like riding my other bike at 120mph.
I took the screen off a few times for offroading and it is "refreshing", not only because of the breeze.
Sometimes is better to be fully exposed to the airflow than to sit "in the middle".
I hate aftermarket parts, but coming to conclusion that it might be time for a new screen.
Given it is a fairly old model, I hope other people in here tested some?
I know and like the WRS products.
I like the current look (original) of my bike and I'm not inclined to modify the bikes aesthetically too much. I see WRS has a "Touring" screen that is essentially the same size/similar shape to the original one. I inquired and they said that the actual shape of the screen (the profile) is a bit different and it helps with turbulence.
Otherwise the "Caponord" but it is massive.
Has anyone ever tried either before?
