I put a tall cee bailey windshield on my nc700x. Still way too much wind buffeting on my head and neck. I cut two 1/4 inch thick by 2 inch wide strips of aluminum to make extender bracket. I drilled holes to bolt to bottom of bike and remount my shield on the top part of the aluminum strips. The bottom holds the top. The bottom two bolts that mounts to rubber grommet I did long screws with rubber and steel washer. This prevents the pressure from top of shield from pulling grommets loose. This raised the windshield where it should be. To prevent wind from coming in the bottom, I went to Lowes and bought a small piece of lexan. ($5) I cut and sanded edges so it fit the area I needed. See photo! Success! The only problem is I have big hand guards. They do touch the screen when turning bike in parking lots on tight spaces. I did not want to cut the cee bailey shield, as it as so nice. My scorpion helmet works best with shield up. With shield up I need no ear plugs. With it down, I do. I have other helmets that create no noise but I like the flip up full face.
Thought I'd share an idea if you are as frustrated as I've been.
