Try the shorter screen from a earlier models,I found then that the flapping wind noise went but if you needed  to you can raise the screen up to the height required, there is one on eBay £25 with free pp worth a try

You might try adding a Laminar Lip  to your screen, they are really rather good for less outlay than some screens   :yes:

I bought a screen from eBay for my 08 model and am very pleased with it. The item number is 232877602774. £91 including postage.
The make is Flowrider and it's the second one I've owned (the first was years ago for a Varadero 1000).
Choice of light tint (they call it Grey but it's light smoke and really nice) or clear. I'm happy with the quality and fit and, with bar risers, it's  a good compromise for me at 6' tall.
I've no connection to the seller other than satisfied customer.
I'm fussy so bought a Kawasaki sticker in reverse which I put on the inside of the screen to make it look standard.
It has a slight flip. See photo. Excuse the non protective jeans and boots. It was straight to MOT centre and back. Round trip of about a mile.

I have an unused laminar lip for the 2010 onward standard screens. If you wanted to give it a go, happy to send it to you - if you like it, chuck me £30, and if not, send it back.

The MRA Vario-Touring screen and 1" risers transformed the bike for me. It made it a "proper" tourer, imho.

I only changed bike due to the weight.

I've got an MRA screen here that's about to go on eBay.  Its got the adjustable lip on it.  Fits all models.  The picture seems to show it a bit shorter than it actually is.  Guess that's the angle I took it at :grin:

I have the MRA screen too, and recommend it.

I also have an MRA screen. It was already fitted when I bought the bike and was the first thing I took off. Now in a cupboard in my garage.
