I just bought a MTS 1260 GT and am facing heavy wind turbulence around the helmet when driving. Even more than on a naked Monster 821.
Have tried the original screen and the PUIG race screen (see picture), both with and without distance holders. Currently the best result is the original screen with distance holders, but it is still noisy. My heigth is 1.74m and the seat is the lowest position. Does anyone get better results with another screen? I am considering the PUIG Touring screen, which is 85 mm higher than the original.

I am 191cm and find the Pikes Peak carbon fibre screen to be the absolute best for turbulence and noise reduction, I think the Italians did a little bit of testing for these screens.
I always wear earplugs and my helmet is a Shoei X spirit 3.
These are factors that need to be considered regarding noise and turbulence.
The Shoei isn't the quietest helmet but it is an aerodynamic masterpiece.

Also Piettro welcome to the forum and perhaps take some time to do a little introduction of yourself.

I'd jack the seat up as high as you can and get a lower screen, so the wind hits you in the chest. The lower the screen, the more comfortable it is, except if you buy the biggest wind sail you can find. All the wind noise comes from around the levers and you can't stop it.
Get sum custom ear plugs as well.
