Short riders and wind noise on MTS12?

[Redbrit]

Actually, I don't care much about the seat height. I tiptoe everything, and the MT12 is only marginally taller than my current bike. What I wondered about was whether shorter (under 5'9") riders were as bothered by wind noise as taller folks. Thanks!

Yes I'm about 5"8' and it bothers me when touring. I'm about to start experimenting with it and there are many options to solve the problem in the forums here.

I went with the MRA sport screen and that eliminated the noise/turbulance and the windblast is fine too. I'm 5'6".

I'm 5ft 8 and had to come up with my own cunning solution

As you asked

Cured most or the screen noise

At 5’ 9.25” I went with the DP Comfort Seat and MRA Touring Screen, all good. Still a little tall but doable.
