On my Low Rider S, I kept the stock tiny fairing but added a cut 2" down $99 Laminar Speed Shield, I tailored it to just keep wind off my torso so not being pushed back. I rode all Summer, clean stream of air to FF helmet, no buffeting. It will only get worse with more windshield.

Find out where the wind causing the buffeting is coming from. Move a free hand when it's safe to ride - up>down>sideways>lower lap>legs Report back.
