I have tried a few screens, flip and DB.
The best one I have used is from Busters for ?40.
I still get a face full from the wind blast and last year spotted a screen at ally pally which was a DB with a small tidy extra screen on set at another angle.
Cant remember the name of them but they were silly money.
So anyway, I put an old screen on today and buggered about with an old visor as an extention.
I used plastic blocks used for fixing two bits of timber. These I cut at an angle and used some small nuts and bolts to fix.
It was only a trial and looks pants but what a difference. It was so much smoother behind the screen.
Gona get a new screen and a smoked visor and do a proper tidy job.
I'm going to try and put some pictures on which were taken with my phone so sorry about the quality.
It looks crap but putting the effort in with some nice plastics would look ok. Anything to save my back.

MRA Vario Touring Screen.

Fugly, but works.

Fast as you like sitting bolt upright, no windblast but lots more noise.

Its a shame they don't sell the small bit for DIY installation. They could knock them out for ?25.
