I replaced the MRA lip type windscreen with MRA Touring Vario. It was a noticable improvement. Then I added another wind deflector on top of existing wind deflector. It looks absolutely ridiculous but it's even better on the highway.
I agree with Ian. Some wind noise adds to the realism of the ride. The Puig looks great and only a barn door will stop all the noise and buffeting. At this point you'll be switching to 4 wheels. Bike looks and sounds super. A little noise won't stop me from enjoying a Saturday morning ride a long with Dave. Keep them coming. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Dave, the only other idea I have is using thin gauge flexible clear piping split length wise applied to the top edge = acts like a "aero wicker bill". Good Luck
I once owned a '99 BMW K1200LT. These bikes had a motorized windscreen with about 6 inches of adjustment. I'm 6-2 and the only way for the air to be silent was with the screen all the way up and looking through it. It's only then that one realizes how much racket one's valvetrain makes! In my experience (over 50 years holding a motorcycle endorsement), shortening the windscreen cleans up the air the most, unless one is looking through the windscreen. So-called naked bikes don't have fairings and windscreens pushing the air up into one's helmet area, disturbed by these various shapes. Naked bikes' air flow is laminar (clean air) and tends to make a more constant (smooth?) sound. Cheers and best of luck!
Continuing to enjoy all your videos, Dave. Thank you! I fear you are on a search for the grail. I will be very surprised if you are able to find a windscreen that is as quiet as you want. The Puig windscreen was slightly better for noise reduction, and I am glad it reduced the buffeting you were experiencing. I seem to recall another motovlogger mentioning that his helmet has a "wind curtain" along the bottom of the chin area that seals out a lot of wind noise, so that may be another modification to try an experiment with. I too am a GS (GSA actually) rider and the GS windscreen is hard to beat. I ALWAYS wear earplugs. It makes the ride less fatiguing, and I actually can hear the traffic around me more clearly. When using comms, I instead wear ear buds. Also, due to developing Meniere's about 15 years ago, I've lost most of the hearing in one ear, so I am quite protective of the hearing that I have left. Lastly, when you visit another moto shop, please give us a peek if you can. It's always interesting to see the differences in the moto culture and businesses there in Europe versus here in the States. -Bill
As predicted... Try using your hand as a mobile deflector and detector of the flow. I discovered on my GSA that a lot of wind noise came through my helmet top vent. Maybe a fairing deflector would help as per the Africa Twin? People on forums say cut the screen down so that the helmet is in clean air.
Hi Dave think you may be looking for the holy grail it is a sports bike not a tourer. You have bar risers that sit you up into the air flow more too. Just a thought have you tried different helmets the noise may be from the helmet. Worth trying different ones if only to see the difference and rule out. All the best Marc
Hi Dave, Try running beading along the top edge. I think I saw it on your givi screen. I think you have another comment suggesting the same. I took it off my ST screen and the noise increase was incredible. It went back on very quickly. Glad you got rid of the buffet. Serious suggestion: attach some cotton tapes to the top edge of the screen and film the flow, it sounds like it's directly around your helmet. Is it the same with each of your lids?
Love my Puig screens on my Adventure bikes but when I had a VTEC VFR I used an Italian screen which was great, I think it was something like Fabbri, I think they still make great screens for many bikes.
Morning Dave I'm the same height as you and have had screen issues on many bikes including my previous 1250 GS I now use the MRA touring screens and have found them, while not perfect are the best iv'e tried !! good luck on your quest 😉
Me thinks you are going to have to use a screen deflector to get a quieter ride. As a 6 foot rider I have had wind noise,(buffeting) problems with every bike and a Puig deflector fitted to my GSA gives me a quieter ride. Wear ear plugs as well as more than 10 mins with that level of noise will erode your hearing very quickly!!!! The Puig screen is definitely an improvement!
Great Video. I bought a 2007 VFR 800 VTEC last Saturday and had an issue with the paint on it so it went back for an exact same replacement. The first one had the OEM screen, the second a double bubble and there was a massive difference in head buffeting when using the double bubble pretty much none at all, loved the second journey, 90 mile ride home mainly on the A1 even though it was baltic, there is some wind noise but who cares I absolutely love the bike and I could see myself touring on it, I'd just bang a pair of ear plugs in and it would be a joy riding it on Motorways for hours on end.
@@aher89able Hi Amet, I'm 5' 10''' the screen was on the bike when I purchased it so not sure what make it is but it's not a PUIG as there is no text printed on it. It doesn't cure buffeting completely but all I can compare it to is my previous bike which was a 2020 HD fat bob, I bought the official screen to try and get around the wind buffeting & it was horrendous, my head was buffeting really bad all the time, the ride on the VFR is so much nicer.
Morning Dave Yes I think it sounds pretty good at speed and I would keep that maybe As said try a different helmet or reduce the noise within Great to see you out All the best phil 😊😊
Hi Dave, I have a smoked tinted MRA (Motorcycle Wind Shields) double bubble windscreen on my 2001 Honda VFR800F! It suits me with some wind noise above 60mph (100kms per hour!), but no buffeting! You get used to it especially with ear plugs fitted , but then I’m not making TH-cam videos so it’s maybe not so important than in your circumstances? 😎👍
Dave, good on you for trying to get the best set up for your vlogs especially trying to get good audio.... and fair play to you for sharing all your trials and tribulations with honesty and good humour...... I have a generation 8 VFR with the original screen, I am 5'11" tall, and the screen is good at deflecting wind but there is always a degree of wind noise, more than my Triumph Tiger 900 (similar to your GS). If you haven't tried it as yet, you might try without the bar risers and maybe change the seat height if your model allows that. I dont have bar risers and have the seat in the lower position, it makes the riding position a little more sporty but might just give you some improvement as your head might be tucked down just a wee bit more. All that said, your video and audio quality remains amongst the best for motovloggers on TH-cam so don't beat yourself up too much! Keep up the good work.....
Maybe try a GIVI single mount deflector also line around the helmet mic with a cloth to remove some of that buffeting(double sided tape and a little imagination)
Hi Dave, a bit of an improvement...just a thought, have you tried riding it without the screen...purely out of interest. I know it has to have a screen, but it would be interesting to see the difference Cheers, Steve
Great upload Dave, in really enjoying your channel. I don't know if there is a touring screen that has a raised top edge to deflect wind above your helmet. They were a popular mod on fj1200 Yamaha's and most seemed to fit them, although I didn't. Kli think the puig is definitely the best so far and looks great.
From our perspective, the viewer, a bit of wind noise is perfectly acceptable, we are on a motorcycle, and a bit of wind noise adds to the realism. Well at least that’s what I tell myself, with my current set up 🤔😂
Hi Dave, Further to my previous comment, Firstly try a different Helmet, preferably an adventure style. If that doesn't improve then try the screen deflector and different helmet configurations. It's mainly to do with positive and negative pressure with the airflow. Having the wind deflector at the top of the screen will create two different pressures and should send the airflow higher. I know you don't like the wind deflectors but it would help to improve the airflow over your helmet. Going to an Adventure style helmet worked for me as the peak on the helmet changed the airflow and created a quiet ride. I spent loads a money on a Schuberth when I had the FJR and never got a quiet ride due to wind buffeting, then I bought an HJC and tried the wind deflector and hey presto a quieter ride. However I don't think you will get rid of it completely but we can try different combinations when I come over. How air you fixed next month work wise?
Brilliant Trev, I’ll defo try this with a different helmet. Fairly quiet next month so far apart from the last week in March when it all starts going crazy again.😵💫
Hi Trevor, i also buy an hjc rpha 70 and the noise was a lot less, also ordered a deflector to install on stock vfr glass/fairing it will help for noise? wich model of hjc you use?
@@gabrielemerenda6470 I have an C80 which so far is the cheapest helmet I have purchased, the most comfortable, quietest and the detachable peak hasn't caused any issues. Ride safe and be well.
If you've not got any buffeting but it's still noisy, then it sounds like the screen is doing its job, and the issue may be with your helmet. Try padding out your cheek pads on your helmet and see if that quietens things down.
I'm on my 3rd VFR800. Love them to bits. Also don't like blacked out screens either. I know your bike didn't come with an original screen - wonder how you would of found an original screen. Having gone through a similar journey as you, I went back to the original Honda screen in the end and wear earplugs. The problem with many bikes is that larger screens just create a different issue, because they disrupt the laminar airflow so much. To get silence you then either need a truly huge screen, or get one with an additional deflector that helps to smooth out the air flow. I hate the looks of large screens, especially with deflectors on them. Smaller screens (normally, the OEM ones) that don't create turbulence, seem to work best for me - just accept that there will be wind noise, but importantly, from a smooth airflow. Also means that I get rain drops on visor at lower speeds. At higher speeds, they run off. Other benefit is in hot weather, still get airflow onto very top of chest, where I can unzip top of jacket to let some in. I liked the FJR's electronically adjustable screen for this as it could be moved to get smooth cooling air, or complete silence. Just didn't like the shear size of the bike itself!
might limit some of the vlogging on this bike, unless on slower roads. If it's a constant noise, can you run some kind of noise cancelling software? Maybe check out the forums on the VFR (you probably have), and see what other riders have tired. Anyway, soldier on, everyone enjoys your vids and the adventures.
From the point of view of the noise in the video, there is a solution. If you switch to Davinci Resolve they have introduced a Dialogue Leveller and Voice Isolation effects which I can confirm are brilliant. Only available in the paid version but it's a $300 one-off (no subscription). Obviously, that won't help your ears whilst on the bike. 😉
Glad you`re happy with the new screen Dave. The audio quality is nowhere near as clear as it is on the GS in my view, what are your thoughts on that ! 😀
You said it's the Puig sports screen. Do they do a touring version, ie slightly higher? I had a 2001 GS1150. That was the worse bike for wind noise and buffeting at 70mph+.
Hi Dave. Have you asked Mr. Richy Vida what he uses? Another quick question, how do you get insurance on five bikes? My company say I can only put three on my policy.
Hi Dave, I'm wondering if you purchased the PUIG racing windscreen or the PUIG touring windscreen. The touring is 54cm x40cm and is 13 cm taller than the OEM windscreen. It also looks like it has the recurved top edge.
Been trying to get my hands on this PUIG screen for my VFR (similar colour), but nowhere to be found. There is the double bubble variant from the R-Racing line. This PUIG screen is from the Z-Racing line and looks absolutely stunning. If anyone can help out finding this screen please let me know. I am from Holland so perhaps in the UK it's easier to get it and I am sure we can sort it out, cheers.
Hi Dave. When riding with the Puig screen. Where will you think the wind hits you? Are your head above the windscreen and the wind hits your shoulders? I have a dobble bubble (From Ebay/China), but I have a buffeting problem. The wind hits direct on mine chin and cause my head goes dobble bubble..
Hi Dave, I'm having the same trouble with the buffeting on my VFR, i also have the puig screen on like yours but noticed on your other video's you have an extension, which extension was it? Puigs own? I'm interested to see is it worth me upgrading to as I don't think i could ride my vfr much longer with the wind noise. Thank you
Hi,i am having big issues with wind noise in my helmet on my 2009 Vfr800. What windscreen made the biggest difference for you. I am looking at Puig Racing and Mra Vario Touring with spoiler on top.
Well I haven’t tried the MRA but whilst the PUIG is the best of my three with the spoiler added, it still is very noisy. Let me know if you try the MRA. 👌🏍
I tried the Zero gravity windshield and i want to advice anyone to not purchase it. It is flimsy and badly designed. You are supposed to slide it down to get the screwholes to lign up with the windscreen holes. My windscreen cracked while trying this. €220 down the drain (including shipping and taxes). My other windscreen i reattached without any problems. Next one i will try is the mra vario.
Try riding with the mirrors removed, they can cause a lot of extra noise. Try all your screens again with mirrors removed to see which is best. If it improves just get some bar end mirrors.

At 6ft 3 I've given up with screened bikes because of buffeting. Fully naked bikes for me now. Getting the right quiet helmet is also in the mix

I have Givi , then screen on top is called x-screen. wind protection is excellent . If I sit up tall I get some wind, tuck down a little and calm.
Looks like you've found something there that you can live with. Nothing will ever be better than the GS in my experience.
I'm using Givi D217S plus an additional deflector. Works fine for me. Beautiful bike!
Dave, the only other idea I have is using thin gauge flexible clear piping split length wise applied to the top edge = acts like a "aero wicker bill". Good Luck
