I commute on my 2016 1200S, 75mi a day, a chunk at 80+ mph, and a chunk at lower speeds. The buffeting was driving me nuts. Not noise, I wear earplugs, but the wind beating my head.
I need the ability to block air at high speed, but get air at slow speed on the same ride.
It's easy to spend lots of money and STILL not have a solution, so I wanted to try something cheap.
So, I tried this for $25 from Amazon, and it works! (at least for me):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NYDHB7F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It can adjust up and down, and adjust for tilt.
At high angle, it kicks the air well over my helmet, and almost completely eliminates buffeting, tested up to 95mph:
When it's hot, or low speeds, angle it down and I get lots of CLEAN air. Lots of airflow, but no buffeting at all:
The little wing can slide up and down, you can see the slide slot in the side. I'm 5'8 and with the windscreen and wing at the lowest position, I see over it easily.
The friction lever can be adjusted to where you can reach up and change the wing angle quickly with one hand, without having to loosen or tighten anything.
It's surprisingly solidly made. The mount and arm are very solid metal with very good quality of machining. No slop or wiggles. The wing is thicker than the windscreen, and has pretty good optical characteristics.
In the clamp, it has silicone liners to protect from scratching the screen, small metal plates to spread the clamping force from the set screws. Again, much better designed and built than I was expecting for that price.
It's nice when a cheap experiment works out!
