Any Experience with Motoparty Windshield Extension?
 
I am getting hammered by the wind noise - seems like I am just tall enough for the wind to hit the vents on top of my helmet *hard*......
So I am looking at a windscreen extension.
I see a reasonably priced Motoparty Adjustable Windshield Extension Spoiler Windscreen Air Deflector. at Amazon.
Has anyone tried this?
Was the 210mm wide screen a better fit or 280mm?
(Not sure how curved the windscreen is.....).

Any other suggestions on windscreen extensions?
Thanks for any pointers!

I Use This One
 
No experience with that particular extension, but I do use this on my RX3 and Versys 650:

It works well, raising the slipstream up higher and over the top of my helmet. It also catches most of the bugs, keeping my helmet visor much cleaner.

The Motoparty probably won't work on the RX3's small and highly curved shield. Look at the photos; all those bikes have a wider, flatter windscreen.

I use this one, and absolutely love it:

It seems to be the same one linked above.

There was a member on here from over seas that was selling custom made taller windscreens for the RX3 but I can't remember his name.. He had a FB page as well...i f you want to dig into the search function you'll find him....member Detours bought one ....I do remember that.

OK I lied.. I remembered.... http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=...amp%3Btype%3D3

I also was afraid of the curvature of the RX3 windscreen versus what the product I linked to expected, hence the question.

Interesting that I get less wind issue on my Ninja with no windscreen (to speak of), while on the RX3 I am right in the path (the vents on top of my helmet at the least) of the deflected wind, and so I get this booming resonance inside my helmet......

Hope the windscreens @calvarez and @Working_ZS kindly pointed me at will do the trick!

I ended up getting essentially the same windscreen suggested by @calvarez and @Working_ZS. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for those keeping score at home).
It has certainly reduced the "whoop, whoop" noise in my helmet, but I am still fine tuning its height and angle.......I will also likely close the vents in the top of my helmet, but hard to do so in the summer.

Thanks for all the good advice!
