Dude i don't know what kind of helmet you wear,but I would buy a arai or sumy or a high end helmet. People say there is no difference are very wrong. I went from a 100 dollar noland to a 500 arai and wow the wind noise at high speeds was greatly reduced. Then if you are going to ride on the highway always wear plugs. they cut all that wind noise down so you can concentrate and you should be able to pay more attention to your mirrors and such. Plus how often do you hear sirens at high speeds anyway. Hell thats why they got the lights. Also run a double bubble windscreen to make you riders pocket bigger. My stock wind screen sucks the wind coming off it seems to catch the bottom of my helmet all the time to get out of it i got to get way low and that sucks for long trips.

I went for a 120 mile or so ride this weekend and use ear plugs. What a difference!!! There was almost no wind noise at all and when I was done riding, no annoying ringing!WhenI first put them in everyone I was with was givin me a hard time...After the ride they wished they had a set to wear! Everything elsecould be heard justfine after I got use tosounds being slightly muffled. Damn good idea!

That looks like it would work pretty good. I was messing around with the aerodynamics under the chin part of my helmet an it seems a lot of noise comes from there. That thing looks like it might cancel out all that turbulant air worling around. I would like to know ifit helps with that wind noisein any way.
