Must be a Toyota Corolla, I know my 2014 Tundra had a sticker a little over 37K and it was one of the cheaper ones.

I don't mind getting wind, I just don't want to be beaten to death by it. I've found 12 hours of non stop a$$ beating by the wind does get tiring after awhile.

Went out the other day and then came onto the freeway going home and I started to see double vision, oh that was my helmet bouncing from side to side at 10 shakes per second. I am going to do something with the windshield, I bent down and peeked over the wind shield and it helped a little bit, but I need to make a change so I can not be bothered by wind buffeting. Just my take on this matter.

I bought front fork wings and baffle from Dennis, stopped the wind from coming up over the tank. He no longer sells them but he can tell you who does.

Bucket List Trike,

Have you futzed with the positions of the center vent and the side vents and stuff? And if you had to bend down to see over the top of the windshield, now tall are you? If you look around, the forums have a lot of info on what to do depending on your height and stuff. Use the Search function. I'm 5'9" and only get that with the front vent closed, and not that much, either; but I naturally look just above the top of the shield.

No , don't want Toyota, pretty original. I did find from what I read on posts that the rake (tri glide) causes lil more buffeting coming from under and over our gas tank. So found out harley leaves out the baffle that could go on lower triple tree. Found one at at www.streetglide.com. Baffle , matches up with cut outs , does good job keeping the eyes from getting beatn up. Just my 2 cents. All in all love the ride great piece ,great ride. Be safe and enjoy the good weather
