MRA X-Creen touring question

[bemo61]

Looking for some input, I'm trying to reduce some helmet buffeting on my 2007 R1200R. It came with 3 windshields when I bought it, the stock "touring" shield, a Cee Bailies touring, that uses the stock mount, and a Z Technik 20" tall shield. I've tried all three shields, and the Z Technik works the best for me until I get up to Hwy speeds, very loud, lots of buffeting. If I lower my head just an inch or two...silence! If it matters, I wear a Shoei modular helmet. Was wondering if any R1200R guys or gals out there have tried the MRA X-Creen on their bike, and how it worked. Any and all advice would be welcomed. Thanks!

Z-technic may make the screens in more than one height. Might be easiest to go with a taller shield.

I almost forgot, a lot of R1200R riders have used a spacer on the stock mounting frame to tilt the screen and reduce turbulence. Don Eilenberger will hopefully weigh in and provide the details.

I've used a cheap ebay clone of the x-creen on my K75S. Like you, I needed just an extra inch to drastically reduce helmet buffeting and noise. I like to have the option to move it down when you get into stuck in slow traffic or in the city and get some extra airflow.

That's on my to-do list...would be a cheap fix, if it works, I'll post my results after I get "round-to-it"! Thanks
