MRA x-creen revisited

Good to hear about good results with the MRA and other wings. On both my GTs and previous bikes I messed around with taller screens and always ended up back with the standard because of increased turbulence and noise. In the end, I'm with Flyrider. I think that smoothing out the airflow rather than blocking it has to be the way to go. So think I'll give the MRA a try. Additionally, on the GT I found that blocking the air with a higher screen put more weight on my wrists due to less wind support on my chest. A couple of years ago, I had an F800R as a loan bike . I was absolutely amazed at how quiet and smooth the airflow was compared to my GT. It was so quiet I actually considered selling the GT and buying an R. The only problem was that once you reached 70 mpg on the R, the wind blast became tiring. So, a screen that deflects some (not all) of the wind but is quiet really appeals.
