I'll play about with the spoilers although as my only reason for fitting handguards was to reduce wind chill on the hands, I may have to live with the buffeting. I don't have a tankbag (yet) but that's something I shall also try. Cheers.
Not that you'll have loads of options with the XT as it'll either be on or off with bits you have added,but it can get mighty complicated when you have bike with several screen options,when your riding the bike find a decent piece of road go for a fixed speed and then when riding along feel for the wind with your left hand and where it is coming from even directly above and behind your head.

I say that because I've had screens that work well for me but bad for my wife and it takes some sorting.
