I have a givi airflow in high position stock mount and could not be happier.6 7" 36" inseam.Nice pocket of air.S10 is also a 2012.

I also have a Givi airflow on my 2013, together with winglets. With the screen in the high position I can ride comfortably with my visor up, the air stream is smooth, quiet and no turbulence, I'm 6'1 and have a 32 inch inseam

Givi Airflow for me to. I´m 5 10 and givi airflow along with Madstad bracket. I can ride with my visor up and no buffeting.
I also added a mirror extenders and wings , it all helps.

Had the same configuration before on my BMW R1200GS and loved it.
Before buying the SuperTen I checked to see if the Givi airflow was available for it.

Its only available for the older models till 2014 I think, but thats no problem because you just remove the front screen bracket from the newer bikes then you have the same bracked as on the old onces.

If you use it along with the Madstad bracket then you just redrill the screen to fit, takes about 20min to do.

I was so impressed with the Givi AirFlow/winglets combination on my 1st Gen S10 that when I traded it in for an 2nd Gen I adapted my new bike to take the AirFlow.

All that was required was:-

1 Remove all the screen adjustment scaffolding to reveal the same mounting brackets as the 1 Gen bikes.

2 Make a couple of spacers for the upper mounting holes.

Works perfectly for me.........5ft 11, 32 leg

Might want to look at your helmet, a good helmet takes alot of the noise out but if its the head movement you get I am 5 9 and went with a tall oem windscreen and added mra touring screen to it, I could smoke at 65 if I was so inclined..

I had either buffeting or wind noise depending on the screen height, I fitted a screen extension and it transformed it. Visor open at 85, music turned down on my BT while it used to be on maximum on my previous bike.

Same here. Gen2 standard screen with an adjustable spoiler works wonders.

not sure anyone mention this, but I had this same issue on another bike and the problem turn out to be an ill fitting helmet......I was wearing a size to big because the helmet shape was wrong for my head...

I know this is probably well known, but many turbulence issues with the head can be attributed to those "Adventure" style visors. They don't really serve much of a function 90% of the time but they sure do like to catch the wind.

I am 6'-1" with 32" inseam on 2013 S10. This works for me:

-Madstad bracket
-Givi windscreen
-yamaha side wing thingies.

With earplugs or noise cancelling ear buds, I am in the quiet zone with no buffeting even at highway speeds. It took a bit of moving the screen/bracket around to reach the zone, but i was able to find it.

I hate noise on a bike. I have the S10 sorted out better than my FJR, on which I only have quiet when the electric screen is in the highest position; I just tolerate it the rest of the time.

Good luck finding the zone.
Which givi windscreen is the best for s10? How does it compare to parrabelum

Madstad bracket will probably help any of them. I tried a parabelum, stock and Madstad shields. I ende up keeping the Madstad.
