I had a screen that I shortened myself. It didn't look that great but it put my lid in clean air and lessened the turbulence. So you might also want to consider a higher or lower screen.

Or get a Roof helmet, quietest lid I've ever worn. I still ride with earplugs but there's the inevitable time that you lose them at a fuel stop or something and the Roof lid is quiet enough not to need them.

Jools, I've got one of the old style ST's and it has a higher screen already fitted, I'm 5ft 8/9 ish (sounds like a dating come on).

The moulded earplugs are a fiddle to get in and out quick, so the chance of dropping them is less as I'll tend to leave them in.

If I still have aggro on the motorway, I'll look into changing the screen as the next part of the puzzle before buying a Schuberth, my mate has one and he loves it, but I prefer how cool the Aria keeps my head as I tend to get hot.
