Love my 2013 SB but don't like all the wind coming up even with touring windshield.
Does anyone have ideas or windshields or fairing to resolve.
Thanks,
Roger

 

Look into Memphis Shades. Memphisshades.com and they have some good fairings.

 

trade it in on a cage....no wind at all then....its a fricken motorcycle what did you expect?

 

a while back... well years agoo, i used to run this on long trips with the wife. did well to calm down wind noise as well so I could talk to her while we rode. just had to knotch them to make them work for the quick clamps

 

Exactly this.

 

I live in the desert where the wind is almost constantly blowing at 25 MPH or more. Also the highway speed limits are 65 and the interstate limits are 75. So I have a good bit of experience with wind on the motorcycle.
Here is what I found works for me. I hold on to the handgrips to control the bike. Then I use the core muscles in my abdomen and torso to hold myself upright. The last part is a technique that I have been successfully using since I was 2 years old (admittedly less successful when rum is involved).

 

 

I've tried riding with a windshield (HD QR touring), but I get so much buffeting and turbulence from under the windshield its way smoother to ride without it. I'd like a shield for cold weather and long rides where I have a decent chance of rain, but i can't stand my beard floating out in front of me and in front of my face.

I'm guessing a setup like Joe had would prevent this, but riding without a windshield is way easier.

 

It seems that ape hangers will put you in a more of wind sail position. Just putting taller risers on my stock super glide gave me more "turbulence" for instance. You dont see many ape hangers on crotch rockets

 

Sorry but you are not allowed to have a windshield.

Please primer your bike black and remove all chrome at once.

Now you know!



Do a search for fork air baffle and lower deflectors.

I get wind but it's not the buffeting type...makes it comfortable for me and my lady.

I work nightshift so unlike a lot of these guys, I understand the benefits of a shield.

Still get bugs smacking you in the face but does help. I wear a beanie so not much help there.
