Default Another Windshield Question

Ok, so here's my story: I'm 5'7. I have the 06 f4i. When i ride i get a lot of audible turbulence in my helmet unless i sit up VERY straight, and then the wind slips underneath, and it's much quieter.

With this in mind, any ideas as to which screen would <lower> the airflow so that my ride is quieter?
Thanks all!

I'm 6'1, got a good helmet, Shark Rsi Acid, I had to replace my factory windscreen with a double bubble, It helps alot, although........... My friend has the same bike as me,,, He put asport Touring windscreen on his,, Its unbelievable the difference,, I got hardly no noise or wind on me, driving his bike,cruising down the freeway,,

I have a Sportech and I hate it. It looks sweet but where all the screws are the grommets push the plastics away from the windscreen so there are 6 gaps 1 at every screw. Also at the bottom where it comes to a "V" it has about a 1/4 inch gap between the windscreen and the plastics. I asked the dealership I bought it from and their tech guys said "well thats just what you get when you buy aftermarket parts." Don't get a Sportech windscreen.

I guess you just have to ride leaning all the time. I have a Scorpion EXO helmet and it rocks.
