Like so

That how I have mine give or take, however I find best change after that is to tilt the deflector.  Mine have always been a little more vertical ie narrower at bottom and wider at top.

I think yours is similar.

Finally, over a month later and I gave up waiting for the dry weather. 

With the spoiler in the revised position, as suggested, it makes quite a difference. 

It's not amazing, but for less than £20 I I'm  really pleased with it. 

Thanks for the advice good people.

Had 2 hours in the seat today, and just on 2 occasions I hit 70Mph (ehem). 

Very surprised to find the airflow far more acceptable at higher speeds than at 50-60Mph.

Depending on how much I have to spend on sorting out the running issues, I'm definitely going to buy a touring screen in the future.

Sorry to revive a "done" thread, but, I was pootling along a 70 Mph today, and I realised that although I had my sun visor down, I actually had my main visor open, and there was no wind buffeting around my helmet at all.

Whilst I've previously only managed short rides of 30-45 minutes, they've mostly been through towns and villages with just the odd short burst through nationals here and there.

 

I'm very happy with my cheap little wind deflector, now I just need to sort the wind at my chest. It's not bad, but it's noticeable.
