If it's drizzling a bit when I'm driving, which it should be, I'll try cracking the window down and see how that changes the movement of the airflow on the window.
I learned that mirrors can really change the look of a sportbike after adding aftermarket mirrors to my ole FJ1200. To this day, I still get emails requesting where I found them, that answer was simply the local dealer.
These days, we have eBay, and the shape of these mirrors caught my eye. They're slightly wider, have a very thin stalk (replacing the fatty looking original) and fit right to the original bolt pattern. The Carbon Fiber is more a painted-on faux finish than real, but they give the bike a fresh look, and most importantly are very stable at speed with minimal vibration in the mirrors.
Those are vortex generators that are supposed to reduce wind noise. They are on Honda Ridgelines, BMWs, and other cars that I can't think of right now. They are not everywhere, but they are out there.

I once saw a set that were custom made for a car, and they barely stuck out at all. They mounted THROUGH the door, and had a flat lense and a mirror and were able to give you the same view of the road that a normal mirror would give. They were super cool, and I haven't been able to find the web page again... Maybe someone else can find it! I would like to see them again. I don't know if you could purchase them, but I would guess they would be expensive, but super cool.
