I had them on with the OEM GS windshield and liked the effect. It reduced buffeting a bit and made an 8h day quite bearable. Not perfect but okay. Better than without them.
Since then I have added a Givi Airflow AF330 windshield and used specific interlocking spacers to be able to lay the windshield further down: 46637673915 - Locking Disk left 46637673916 - Locking Disk right Without the "locking disks" it worked quite nicely, with them I think it's better but I have tried it only on a very short ride, so I'm not quite sure. With them installed I definitely have to move the upper part of the windshield higher (to about 95% extended) get airflow that just touches the top of my helmet. It's quite smooth though, so even having it lower is not a real issue. I plan on playing around with it a bit more. |

Tried a Tourtech spolier and took it off after a 400km ride.
First off the reflection of my fuel petcock and yellow gastank good be seen some times ...it looked like a heads up display for a F-14!! The actual bracket which clip on to the top of the existing fairing is directly inline with my line of vision...I am 6'1" and where a Arai XD-3. As for any improvement in reducing buffeting? No difference that I could feel...I might add how much I like the XD-3 due to the visor I can block out a sunset or oncoming headlights...have a second on order. PS.The spolier is for sale? |

I have the ADV Windscreen and mixed reviews on the spoiler.
As for winglets, it's on my to do list based on what I've read. No experience with them myself.

The discussion is regarding winglets but the Aeroflow lower shield does fit the bill....for what it is worth
I know this is a pricey item but i have had several different windshields on different bikes and this is the end all for shields. Clearview, Cee Bailey, Tourtech screen, and laminar lip Aeroflow is the best solution to any issue there is for windshields. The entire thing cost $601 which is painful but I could not be happier. The design eliminates the buffeting and there is about a 60% reduction in air to arms . I have yet to ride in heavy rain to see how water runs off. I also would not invest in the thing if I was a 70/30 off road kind of rider.
