Wind noise with F650 dakar

On my F650GS I have the windscreen of the F650GS Dakar.
It looks good but the wind is now directed right on my helmet wich gives a lot of noise so I have to wear earplugs even on lower speed.

I have seen those "spoilers" that you fit on top of a windscreen.
Has anybody experience with this or another solution for the wind noise on my head ?

I found the same wind noise/buffeting problem with my stock F650 Dakar windscreen.

I replaced it with a windscreen from CEE Baileys which works very well for me.

They offer 3 different heights. Their web site explains how to determine the correct height for you. The website is Cee Bailey's Aircraft Plastics - Hand Crafted Aircraft Windshields and Windows - Accessories - Also Available Cee Shades Sun Shield Products

I think this is what I was looking for. You wrote that it works for you so I guess it should be OK.
I will look a little more to see what the alternatives are but this one looks good.
