I have been screwing around with windshields, fairings etc for 50 years. Vetter, Pacifico, Rifle, National Cycle, Slipstreamer, Puig and others I can't remember across the US, Canada,Western and Eastern Europe. On my tracer I tried the stock with MRA deflector, V Stream sport touring, V stream with MRA, Puig and they all either beat me or my ears up (at this age I can't afford to do that). Part of the problem I think is the factory mounting hardware. Once buffeting starts it sets up a harmonic motion that's like the old motels with the vibrating bed (sorry you younger guys missed this exotic era). So after screwing around since I had a trip coming up to east coast and outer banks, I broke down and bought a MadStad system. NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING compares to this set up. No ear plugs, no vibration, no buffeting and when I got stuck for a 100 miles or so of good rain I could watch the rain drops fly over my head. I wear a Shark Evo One helmet which is noisy but I can and did ride with the chin bar pulled back (only one certified to do so). Best 300 bucks I have ever spent on a motorcycle.
