K100RS Laminar Lip

Have any of you K100RS and K1100RS owners used this version of the Laminar Lip on your bike:

And does it work well?
EDIT: Or any experience with this AeroFlow

I'm 6'1" and ride with a FF helmet. At highway speeds the stock fairing basically just funnels the wind right at my helmet. I'd like to reduce the bobblehead shaking effect and wind noise - but mostly the buffeting.

Had one & sold it! For me 6'1" it worked only as well as spoiler on max tilt.I believe "johnny" used one & may be able to give you more advice but my findings were that it worked best with spoiler set on minimum but only gave less turbulense if I crouched/lay on tank.May well work better for shorter riders.

It's really bad on my RS also. I'm 6', and almost prefer the constant wind of a naked bike to the random buffeting on the RS.

Regardless of the advertising hype, there is no fairing or windshield that will throw the turbulence more than 4-5 inches higher than the top edge. If you want clean air, you gotta go nekkid or push a barn door size picture window in front of you.
