Windshield makes a difference
I have a LRS windshield that I cut down from 10 inch to 8 to fit me better. A friend just got a Klock Werks 8.5 Flare. I asked him if I could try it to see if I liked it.
WOW what a difference. The wind hits me differently and something I will get used to but I could not believe how much better I could hear my system. Really woke it up!
I got home and watched some videos and read some forum posts on it and it does what KW says it does. It really creates some clean air between the fairing and my ears.
Found it online for $140.00 bought it and should be here by next week!

Thanks for the heads up cfave. I'm 6'2 and use a stock style 12" shield with good results. I also cut down on some wind noise with the baffle that Harley sells that goes under the bottom triple tree.
I see that Klock Werks makes an 11" version of the Flare but it doesn't seem to have the flip at the top like the shorter ones do. I don't know if that would work any better than my standard 12" shield or not.

KW does ride before you buy at the shows they are at. I would hit them up and see where they might be around your area and go give it a whirl. At 180 bucks, for a piece of plastic, it is best you make an informed decision.

Just nosing around on Long Ride Shields' website I noticed they are having a pretty groovy sale going on right now.

yeah, when i did my stereo install (since it was all apart), i swapped the stock shield for a 12" KW. probably cheated the wow factor from the new tunes, but it all goes together and ended up awesome.
