Default Finally solved my buffeting

I received my "fangs'' and 8" LRS screen yesterday and my buffeting is finally fixed. After installing the fangs I rode with the stock screen, Klock Werks, and LRS back to back and the LRS is the winner for me. I can finally enjoy riding more than 60 mph...

Fangs are fork mounted wind deflectors. I use http://www.jescustomaccents.com/cate...?categoryId=34
and wish I had discovered them years ago. Would have saved a lot of money on windshield changes.

Got the black ones for 14 SGS. Not sure if I should have gotten chrome since forks are chrome. Bike is mysterious red. As far as function they work great.

Looking at those Fangs it would appear the airway to the engine is being cut somewhat. Do they mount higher than the lowers?

Went to install my fangs today. Found out they wont mount if you have aux. lights installed. Once you get the fangs on, the rear of the turn signal prevents you from putting the aux light bracket back on. Very disappointed. I was really hoping to get rid of the buffeting.
