I had the same problem. Add a windshield extender.I think i'm going to have to sell the bike. Does anyone else find the 'X' intolerably noisy behind its screen? I have a very quiet helmet (Shoei GT Air), but at any speed above about 70km/h i just can't bear the noise.
All though its good fun standing on the pegs going down the freeway, its not really a practical solution. But it is quiet, so the issue is the bike its self.
Im not sure a taller screen would help. I think as i'm fairly short (5'9) and i sit quite far forward on the bike that the problem is that my head is in the low pressure buffet behind the screen. i've considered actually chopping down the stock small screen.
Has anybody else had similar issue and either fixed it with a taller screen (or shorter) screen??
cheers, Jim.
