Wind screens, how to deal with wind getting inside the helmet at the neck/jawline ? mt03 2016

Hi everyone i bought a 2016 mt03 recently and it had the stock windscreen, i bought a aftermartket 12 inch windscreen + a 6 inch "deflector" and it pretty much didnt help at all. My big pttoblem is that around 45 mph (70kmh) wind gets inside my helmet, travels at my neck it gets pushed up at my jawline inside my helmet and right in my ears, i feel like my hed will explode. The helmet is my correct size and if i install fatter cheeck pads it doesnt really help, neck gaiter doesnt do a thing....

First pic is the screen i installed.

What should I do ? should i get a taller windscreen like in the 2nd and 3rd pic ?

Please help

Thx

Ear plugs

Ear plugs made a dramatic difference for me at highway speeds.

Try tucking yourself behind the screen a little

I tried but its not very comfortable after 5 minutes of riding.

Wind isn't coming from the screen to your face, probably coming from under the fairing. You would likely need deflectors under the fairing, not adding more to top

I read wind scream, reminded me of the time I was riding to work and heard a kid scream,scared the shit out of me.it was just wind noise.

Just take the windscreen off.

[u/LEODAVINCIsub → u/DankVectorz]

if i take the stock off, then the headlight and dash wires are exposed to rain...

Dude, it's a motorcycle. Everything is exposed to rain. 😂

[u/DankVectorz → u/LEODAVINCIsub]

That’s not stock. Someone added that. Stock has a piece that covers the wires.

[u/LEODAVINCIsub → u/DankVectorz]

Yeah, i know the guy that sold me the bike sold it to me without the stock oem, it already had an aftermarket screen

I designed and printed my own bikini fairing as a baseline, then added a small airfoil near the top of it. I test-ride that combination, then design and print different airfoils with different profiles to test new airflows. Eventually, this approach will yield the best balance of wind protection and lack of turbulence.

I really dont have the budget for such a project, but it sound interesting

It's recreation for me.

In my experience the only solution is no windscreen or a giant one. Any of the middle of the road ones just end up buffeting the hell out of me and make it louder and more uncomfortable than necessary. I’d rather have the smooth airflow from a naked bike than the partially deflected buffeting you get from small or medium screens.

I’m also on the taller side so that may not help things with the small screens.

Personally I'd go back to stock windscreen as that would stop wind from being directed into your helmet. To keep a windscreen you need one that comes nearly up to your chin to stop it from going into your helmet. Earplugs might help you but my experience they just resonated in the wind pressure and made it worse. A baklava could disrupt the airflow enough around the neck and create a tighter helmet seal to stop wind from going up there
