An alternative solution to the noise problem (and LOTS cheaper)
is to wear earplugs.  The windscreen on my CB900F tends to place
the maximum amount of turbulent air, right at the top of my face shield.
Rather than spending big bucks changing the bike, I ride with earplugs.

Earplugs do NOT screen out ALL noise, it simply reduces the volume. I still
hear cars in traffic and can hear funny things in the engine (if they are
there) but don't have ringing ears after a long ride.  

I'm kind of fanatical about protecting my hearing but it has paid off.
The last flight physical I took the examiner said I had hearing like
a First Grader and I'm 30 years old !  :-)
