Helmet "lift" at high way speeds?

Full face helmet. If fits well. I can tilt my head down some and the lift stops but I don't want to ride in that position for long.  Was wondering if others have this issue. I would guess its a riding position / wind shield issue.  Would a windshield "lip" help? I don't get the "lift" riding my Ducati Multistrada ( a much bigger shield ) or my Ducati 916 ( much different riding position ). Ready to try something to rectify this soon.

 

Thanks for your input.

I'm assuming you have the same problem that I had with my 2001 V11S, but I have a BMW fairing on mine. At highway speeds, the wind gets right under your helmet, and it feels like it wants to rip your head off? I added a Laminar Lip to mine (not sure if they make one for your bike), and it made things much better. I have a few different helmets (one of them almost too tight), and had the same issues before adding the LL.

Hope this helps,

Ken
