The turned-up lip or reverse curve on the various K75 shields (you may have seen them in museums,) is found on many of the Aeroflow shields.

Here's a couple museum pieces :)

EDIT: I had a Suzuki GS550ES in 1983. Fun bike. I wore no earplugs, just a helmet and gloves, jeans and running shoes (that was then...). Ironically, I don't recall ever having a problem with wind noise on that bike. It was 40 years ago, though...maybe my ears didn't notice wind noise then...?

That was 55-mph America. Today, we're 70~80-MPH America. That doubles or triples the unsteady pressures that create noise.

Plus, we were younger and ate nails for breakfast in those days.

I'll say it again- the MRA screen works really well for me.

I also like the MRA X-screen, seems to be the best all rounder I've tried. If you lay the top element down horizontally it gives pretty good air flow in hot weather.

I re-mounted the WRS again last night, in the lower mounting holes. Then I mounted the MRA X-creen and positioned it so the support arms are just below horizontal and the deflector blade angled the same as the WRS screen. So what I ended up with was the MRA positioned in front of the WRS by a couple of inches, with the top edge just a little bit above the WRS. Going to try it a bit later today. My idea was that the WRS is short, so I should be in clear air. The positioning of the MRA, I hope, will act as a smaller, second screen and divert some of the air that would hit the upper part of the WRS, while allowing air hitting the WRS down low to flow behind the MRA, lessening the low pressure area there while decreasing the total force of the air entering the cockpit and creating noise.

Like most best-laid plans, I hope for the best, and plan for the worst. Next step is new earplugs, then if that fails, the dreaded taller screen (VStream Sport/Tour).

Result of test:

Less than optimal. Tomorrow being fitted for new custom plugs. Doing the fitting with helmet on after mold material inserted in ear. Seems making molds without helmet leads to sub-par fit. Fingers crossed this solves the problem once and for all.
