I'm a firm believer in using ear plugs but am beginning to think that what might work for one person may not work for another.
In my case, I've settled on custom-molded silicon earplugs. They fit well, last forever, are easy to clean, and seem to work better than disposable foam earplugs.
Before you resort to the unthinkable, remove your windscreen. Try riding the bike naked again. I think you'll be surprised at how much its absence will clear up most of the wind noise you suffer from. My naked CB1100 is the quietest bike in my stable -- even quieter than my R1200RT with fully adjustable windscreen.
Also, I've found that Schuberth makes a very quiet helmet. Try a C3-Pro for size and see if it doesn't help. I used to wear Arai and Shoei helmets and found them to be very noisy.
