I feel your pain!! I've got an X-creen fitted, seems to help a bit but I think the fairing design is fundamentally bad and causes turbulence at motorway speed, I'm even thinking about ditching the fairing completely. It's pretty much the one downside about the Fazer, shame that about 70% of my commute riding is on motorways :rolleyes
I wear a Shoei Qwest helmet that's supposed to be quiet, is it hell. Tried it with the chin curtain and whisper strip accessories, not much different. Now have a Windjammer II fitted with the vent holes taped over, that's noticeably better but I still wouldn't ride any distance without ear plugs, that's not going to be much use for a flip up helmet though. Schuberth always seem to be recommended as the quietest helmet but come at a serious price, with no guarantee that they will actually work for an individual, so a bit of a lottery.
Cheers,
Rob
