Always liked the minimal buffeting in my 09 Heritage until I bought a new no name carbon fibre 3/4 this summer. Unbelievable how much head bobble that piece of crap caused so it only lasted a day. I never thought a change of lid would make that much difference.

 

My sentiments exactly. I get no buffeting with my stock 2014 heritage. Almost the perfect bike!!!

 

The Heritage comes with 2 stock windshield sizes. On my 2011 Heritage I have the lower/smaller windshield that I can just see over. I use a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet and have the Kuryakin fork lowers. I have next to zero buffeting at any speeds or wind direction. I can light a smoke and ride with no issues. (if I smoked) The fangs eliminated 99% of buffeting.

Hey, that's me in high school!

 

+1 on the Klockwerks windshield. It is amazing the difference from the stock one. Changes the windflow a lot.

 

Thanks all for sharing your knowledge and input - I will find a solution at some point, plenty of things to try, lol, in the meantime it does NOT keep me from riding!

 

Take the shield off and there will be no buffeting on your head.
Or buy a 20+ inch shield you look through instead of over.

 

It's not "buffering", it's buffeting.

Buffeting: "irregular oscillation caused by turbulence"

 

Use the full face helmet when you don't have the windshield on. Use a half helmet with goggles when you have the windshield on.

The full face with the windshield is a bad combination.
