Screens can be tricky things, I fitted an MRA to my 2016 AL7 and the wind noise was horrendous - took a hacksaw to it and chopped the upturned lip off it ( about 75mm ) and it was better. layed it down flatter and better still ( it was now more like a cover for the instruments than a screen ) - took it off and it was quiet.

The problem is that if they deflect turbulent air up towards helmet the rain and the insects go with the air as well - so no gain really.
