i have the 7 inch HD wind splitter on my '20 electra glide standard with the bat wing
most of my riding is done over 50mph. i don't really bar hop.
i live in florida, so i ride most days, and always for at least an hour or 2 minimum
my opinion is that it certainly changed the air to a "cleaner wind".... but i still get some turbulence above 60mph, but nothing that i cant handle (winds here are generally 5-10mph most days)
under 50mph riding, i could probably smoke a cigar if i still smoked lol
i am 5'9", and i look out and over wayyyy past the 7inch, so no vision issues
i wear a half helmet and glasses, so wind is always an issue for me.
i got major improvement from buying a pair of prescription riding glasses with foam, and using ear plugs that cut a perception of buffeting from wind noise
my opinion is that no ONE thing is "the fix". i think its a combination of tweaks to your riding style
