R1250GS Windscreen opinions wanted

I just switched from an RT to a 1250GS and have found the windscreen buffeting quite annoying. The RT had the same issue and was replaced with a Werks quiet ride but they don't make one fro the GS. I was leaning toward a spoiler, touratch, MRA, Puig all make them but I cannot seem to find any reviews. Anyone using a spoiler? Which one and is it on a stock shield? Thanks in advance.
 
You might want to try a GSA screen. It's a bit wider, higher that the GS standard screen.
If you do go to a wider/third party screen or lip, look into screen reinforcement fingers, the OEM tend to crack.
 
I have the puig spoiler on the GSA screen and it works really well. Can direct the wind where I want it.
 
MRS Vario is as good as it gets. My third bike with this shield

MRA Vario Is by far my favorite.

Had one on 2016 R12000GS, Have one on my 2019 R1250GS and just put one on a F750GS
 
I had the Wunderlich style deflector on my GSA and it worked well to push the air over me, but I didn't like how much it made my windscreen bounce, or the visual noise of it in my line of sight.

I switched to a Touratech windscreen (Large) and am happy enough to not change it until I break it (I probably won't). It's not quite as good airflow wise as the deflector, but my windshield doesn't bounce around all the time anymore and is less distracting.

My father has the Cee Bailey and it's perfect. It's not quite as wide as the Touratech, but it is a little bit taller. It's also smooth/curved and not angular like the BMW or Touratech ones. They don't make them anymore, so you have to keep an eye out for a used one, but they go quick!

For reference, I'm 6'4" and about 27" from butt to shoulder.
