Maybe try a set of lowers....definitely changes the flow of air.

There is a proven set up that will give you the perfect pocket on a Road glide.

For the PreRushedMores, a real wind screen, fork dog bowl, engine guard Wind Deflectors, Lower Fairings has worked for me on my Rig. And should make the RushedMores work even better.

As for my BSR, not one complaint!

Now mind you my wife wears a 3/4 Lid with a flip up shield and has no problem. As well as myself, I either have my FF or sometimes my 3/4 lid.

No head bobbing, just nirvana!

Admittedly my 12 FLTRU is getting old but the addition of first the engine guard bar paddles in front of the tank, NOT installing nor test riding a sport bike with a chopped windshield and having the back rest of a tour pak there is no wind currents or turbulence around the little woman. We have normal voice conversation while riding highway speed, we get no buffeting in the face or around the body just a pleasant ride. I added a recurve w/s to move the air stream off the OEM w/s from on top of my hat or helmet and that only added to the wife's comfort by her account.

I have friends that had to have sport looks, got short w/s, took off lowers, added equipment that added drag and redirected wind into their faces where they felt a batwing was better, two went back to the standard wing but again insisted on short w/s and never really gained anything but turbulent twitch behind large machines as trucks or RVs' that we do not. Cannot be cool and sporty and still lose the turbulent air on a Roadie.

Sounds like it is the same for Rushmore's then, that is my set up except for the dog bowl.
