forks baffle and 9" clearview no problem here with my FLHX Im 6' 1"

 

Duh, geez! What's causing the buffeting? Water? I'm 6'2" and still don't feel buffeted.

 

Cobra I was thinking the same thing. I have to HD solo brawler that puts me down close to two inches. The wind buff is different on that seat vs my sundowner. It's almost like you need different shields for different seats. I'm 6'0 and the 8" might work with my solo but I might need the 9.5 or 10.5 for the downer.

 

and are u wearing a full face? if so,which one?

 

After one of my first "reasonably long" rides (it was only a couple hundred miles) on my Street Glide, I felt horrible. Stopped by the Doc the next day and was told in no uncertain terms that I had a concussion.

From riding.

Seven (eight? Maybe nine...) shields later, the chrome fork dinner plate and the dragonfly wings on the side and I'm somewhat better off. But undoubtedly, the most comfort/least buffeting I've had is when I took off the helmet. Half, 3/4, full-face - Made some difference (half being the least obnoxious), but nothing cured it.

If it helps, the shield is a 12" (Memphis Shades?) with the black gradient -- Keeps the "designer's intention" nicely and offers goof protection.

Personally, I prefer a face full of wind. But I'm in the same boat - If I can't even see because my eyes are rattling around in my skull, I'm not going to stay upright very long. There's a big difference between your glasses bouncing around on your nose and your brain bouncing around inside your head.

 

Well, after all the great suggestions, I think I'll give it a shot with the fork mounted air baffles and dragon fly wings on the fairing. I'll go from there if I need to.

Thanks for all the replies thus far!

 

I had buffeting with the stock windshield. I replaced it with a 8in Cee Bailey [non recurve] and I have very little now and I'm a little taller than you. I even rode one weekend with just a ball cap at highway speed. Like some have said if I put my knees against the tank or move them away from it makes a big difference of how much comes from under the fairing.

 

I bought these.

I didn't go by my height because everybody has a different size TORSO. I sat on my bike in riding position, someone held a tape measure to the top of the fairing and extended it until it was about 4" below my eyes. That is the height you need. I chose 10" and the 2 side wings and I have no problem with the wind at all. A old wise Harley tech told me to keep the windshield about 4" below your vision line to get the correct line of sight and proper wind deflection. Try it out. Worked for me.

 

Good to know. First I've heard of moving your knees.
