Hi,
I'm a new BMW owner as of July. Love the bike but, unfortunately, the wind noise at highway speeds is deafening. My head hurts and ears ring for hours after a ride. I'm 6' 175 lbs with a stock seat and stock windshield.
I've tried the following in order:
$600+ Schuberth C3 helmet (dealer recommended as quietest). - Slightly better than my old Shoei but not much
$20 earplugs - Little improvement
$80 custom earplugs - A lot better but ears still ringing after a long ride
$240 Puig Touring Windscreen for F800GS Adventure 13-16 - Directs the wind above my helmet but the windshield is not wide enough and wind turbulence hits the sides of my helmet.
I'm was going to try the Laminar Lip next because they have a money back guarantee.
I've checked out other posts and understand all the variables involved. However, I'm hoping someone in my situation has solved this issue or give me advise as I can't afford to try many more options. As of right now, if I can't find a solution, I'm selling the bike......better than going deaf.
Thanks!
