Unhappy Screens and turbulence

I really need some help and advice please.

I'm 6 foot tall, have a Trophy 1200 and whatever I do to the screen the turbulence is very bad - too bad to ride - I feel like I've been in a boxing match. The bike is attached to a sidecar, so I wonder if the turbulence may be caused by that - but maybe not. I've tried the standard screen - hopeless. The standard with a laminar lip - absolutely terrible. Standard screen cut down - slightly better. I also tried these with the sidecar screen removed in case that is causing the problem - still no good.

The only thing that works is to ride standing up so I'm right up in the breeze, or to ride in a strong wind but with the wind behind me. I'm wondering if a low sport screen might do the trick but there are none for sale here in the UK, that I can find. If I can't solve this soon I'll soon be an ex-Trophy owner.

Anybody got a wind tunnel?
