Thanks to all for input;

I'm 175 cm, the missus is 165 cm and the 08 was dead stock and I only ever raised the screen when it was raining whether carrying pillion or not so this situation really puzzles me. A few things I've noticed different between the two which could influence the airflow;
Screen is larger (taller & wider), fairing is wider, my sitting position is straighter, wife is sitting slightly higher above me than before and she hasn't grown any, at least not in that direction! Anyway I'll try to "borrow" the seat and screen off the old bike and see what the result is.

Pls keep the comments coming as I'm keen to find a solution so I can keep the bike and the wife - it's a great ride!! 

Recently traded my 08 for a new 2016 model and after the first road trip with my wife on the back (1000 klm in 4 days) she wants me to buy the old bike back!

I had the old bike for 8 years and we did 50k klm's together and my wife was on the back for a good number of those and never any complaints even at motorway speeds but this trip anything over 80 kph and she suffered severe buffeting around the head and felt neck and shoulder pain as a result.

I'm posting this in the hope someone out there may have experienced something similar and found some after market add on to solve the problem otherwise I'm looking for a new bike if I want the wife to tag along again.

I wonder if these side spoilers could help improve the situation?

Any thoughts / feedback welcomed - I like the bike!!
