Craig Vetter also mounts his license plate, light behind the helmet. Between the helmet and plate is a concave foam pad that is formed to the shape of the helmet. He stated that in certain cross wind conditions placing his "bowling ball" head in the foam socket restored stability. He didn't mention wind noise reduction but it would certanly transfer the drag of rear of the helmet to the tail fairing making less strain on the riders neck.
