RG vs SG vs RK Wind Buffeting, NOT Just from over windshield. Best air bubble?

I have owned them all. Personally I think the RG is very ugly with tall shield so I always had the chopped black shield on which only keeps the wind off your chest. I currently have a 09 RKC and am so surprised at how much protection there is with the stock shield. I actually had to go with a shorter shield because im used to a little wind in my face. I will say the RG did a better job (stock) of cutting the wind then the EGS I had. Good luck, if your not into the tunes then you cant go wrong with a RK. RK is stripped compared to your SG though. Can you live without the air temp guage...LOL

I also went with the road king..only thing is I wish the wind shield was wider at the bottom to give my hands more protection...and I cut 2 inches off of the top, which (for me) helps me see over it better and the bike handles better (feels less top heavy)...but still no "real" buffeting....

I hated the way the air came from under the fairing (with stock windshield) on my Street Glide and up my chest, I could not keep a hat on in cold weather or rain if I went over 60. I had to wear a vest to keep my shirt from beating my throat to death. With the Road Glide, the stock (short) windshield felt like someone was sitting behind me beating my ears with ping pong paddles. Since I installed the 8" Klock Werks windshield I can wear a hat at 90, (without stapleing it on) and I don't have to wear a vest to keep my shirt from beating me to death. IMO the air is better with the Road Glide, handles a lot better too.

Or you could not read the Fing threads that cause you angst, or maybe contribute something useful, or keep your opinion to yourself..
