Cross country windscreen
I want to ride xcountry (west to east to west) on my 2014 CB1100DX but need to figure out how to not get battered to death by the wind at 65-80 mph.

I'm 6' 0'' tall, wear a 3/4 Bell Mag-9 helmet, and have 18" tall MRA VFVT V-Flow windshield w/ built-in spoiler. The wind slightly lifts my 3/4 helmet and my shoulders start getting tired of the battering after about 100 miles.

I tried my friends full helmet and it provides minimal help.

I'm thinking about the National Cycle Plexistar 2. I actually found a person selling a 2013 CB1100 with this exact windshield, so I parked mine next it and did avisual comparison of the windshields. The top of the Plexistar 2 seem to be at the same height as mine, but its wider.

I was thinking I could add a spoiler to the Plexistar 2 to help increase the height a bit.

Does anybody have a suggested windscreen configuration for xcountry biking (no .. I can't drive 55mph as Sammy Hagar suggested).

Regards .. your CB brother.
