Couldn't help notice, but there's carpeting and a piano in the "garage". 
That's a very nice home for the NC!
Anyway, that windshield combo looks like a DIY Madstad. Nice work! Be sure to use nut plates.

Maybe you're supposed to make a choice?

Good grief!
I've still got (and sticking to it) the stock windscreen, I couldn't imagine having a barn door In its place.
Jeez, get a tail wind and you could turn the motor off.

Considered doing that myself using Palmer brackets with Givi screen plus OE - ended up making my own inner shield instead.

Why would you want 2 windshields?

To create 'laminar airflow' - squeezing the air through the gap between the two screens has the effect of focusing and accelerating the airflow up and over the rider's head.
I call it a Mad-Palmer. Very windy today, lots of cross wind. Not a good day for a test run.

Also not a good day for a very large wind screen on a medium weight bike..........

To compare the two in a picture for us.

My set-up works better for me than the OE screen or Honda touring screen or Givi on its own (I'm 5' 9" with 31" inseam). If I was starting over, I'd be tempted to cut the hassle and pay the higher price for the MadStad. Mind you, I only found that out by trying all the other stuff!!
Could tell a little bit of difference with the double screen set up.

I have the Palmer Brackets and a Puig Screen with Deflector fitted.
Tried it in every angle and height variation and don't think its better than the Puig on its own
I think it's the large gap between the screen and the bike that causes the problem???
I removed the Palmer Brackets last night and went back to the Puig.
As a final test I might try fitting the Honda OEM screen with the Palmer Brackets and Puig
Trying to resist the urge to buy the Madstad Screen Setup.......
Might even go back to the OEM Screen at least there was no buffeting!

I've never had anything but the OEM a screen, sounds like I've saved quite a few quid?

Did you go the Madstad setup anyway? .... My experience with the Palmer and GIVI and just moving my right Arm to the left at 75 with cruise set, makes me think the wider Madstad or Vstream would make for quieter and more enjoyable rider at hwy speeds. Under 50 the GIVI on Palmer adjusters at mid height is great but over 50 the wind noise really gets noticeable, no noticeable wind buffeting at any speed so I think width is the key to high speed comfort. It would not be for the commuter or dirt rider who stay under 60 but if you ride distance at 70+ I think the Madstad or Vstream will make a good investment. I'm waiting for a test between the two and then I'll commit to I hope my last windshield purchase. Coming from a GoldWing (still have) I'm trying to find a smaller equivalent that can also do 10-15% off road so my needs may not mirror yours. If I can get the noise down some at 70 - 85 on the X the Wing may become dusty, as the X sure has the agility on it's side, or I could go spend twice the $ on a BMW/KLR and still be less happy :-(.

I have done this two screen setup with the Palmers but using the Givi touring screen.
I still get the feeling that extra width would be a help to get my shoulders out of the buffeting.
