Default RE: Helmet buffeting
Just ordered a tanklift off Jackyl ... i hope that helps. I don't have much wind ... can ride at 80 fairly comfortably but a little less buffeting would be nice ... 16" Memphis slim screen
To test if the aerovest would help hold your arm across your chest ... if the upwind goes away it'll probably be fixed by the vest ... it doesn't for me ...

Unbearable at 50 mph??!! Get back in your car and sell the bike. If you don't like 50 mph winds in your face you should sell the bike, because it seems like riding is not for you.

Did he crash? Did they go back and look for the eyes? That's just too weird man! Maybe his eyeballs were too small for his skull.

Hi davekmm; I'm jack from jacksflaps. Take your bike up to 60 mph and make a salute with your left hand and put it across your chest at just below shoulder level (palm flat). if you like what that does then the vest will do you good. You can go to my site or just click on the banner to the right and watch the video to see how the AeroVest works---cheers---jack

Just checked their website, and theMemphis shades lowers are only $23.95. Worth a try.
