wind noise

I have a double bubble screen fitted to my F27 it works great but I get a lot of wind noise past my helmet at speed.Is it possible to fit a baffle / shotr screen in front of the double B to reduce the airflow over the screen.I was thinking about to small wings that are fitted to nose cones to deflect the air away from the front suspension,any ideas anyone Keith

Alot of bikers wear earplugs, including me, even on my bogger at 40mph my hearing isnt right after 30 mins or so.

I know what you mean - I have the same problem. I wondered about a small lexan lip like you sometimes see on the bonnets of American trucks or pickups. Either that or the same but at the rear edge of the bonnet. Might be possible to lash something temporary up to see if it works?

I've noticed on the formula 1 cars they have clear strip about 30mm high on the edge of the bonnet directly in front of the driver this c only be for wind unless anyone knows better Keith
