You use a taller screen... He givi short is very aerodynamic. The taller screens will require more power to deflect the wind thus reducing your top end and fuel economy. If you ride below 60mph a tall screen will be great for you. If you ride over that stick with the givi short.

Again something you learn to deal with unfortunately. Try earplugs.

I actually trimmed and bent my Givi screen back so the air is cleaner and lower. Now it hits the collar bone and leaves the helmet in clean air. It is more aero and when I jump on the expressway, I tuck forward and look just over the top for easier top speeds of 68 mph.

Seriously though do you have a reasonably light helmet and keep moving your head to exercise the neck. It could be tension

And that is why I added an extension to ours. It took some effort, and it is not bolted permanently to the Givi, so I had to look online for some way to connect it without messing up the Givi.

Bigger windshield? I got a small Ermax and had wind buffeting on my helmet, so I just bought the tall windshield.

Same problem with my short Givi. Got a too obvious windrush to my neck and up my helmet - not good in the cold weather now.
Just ordered the taller one - Givi 323DT and fixing kit on AmazonUK two days ago.

It's going to be a world of difference as i dipped my head below the short-screen level for a moment whilst riding and the wind and wind-noise were cut of. I'm expecting that with the taller one.
A 'real' bike is one with which you have to jump through hoops to get it to do what a scoot does with a twist

I installed the 322 on the weekend and just want to find out if others are getting whistling/wind noise from the windscreen.
