RE: Helmet buffeting

Very uncalled for statement. Buffeting is a problem aot of people have a problem with and not the same as jujst wind in your face.

RE: Helmet buffeting

Before the lift, 80 MPH could be tough. After, it's very
comfortable. I can smoke on the bike up to 60 MPH.
Anymore.........it just wouldn't feel like riding.

RE: Helmet buffeting

Do you have a visor on your helmet? If so, take it off then go for a ride and see what kind of difference it makes.

Yep ... The lowers attachtothe Memphis Slim clamp.. Really easy if you havea Memphis Shade set-up..
They do make a differant type clamp if you dont.... It really made a differance for me.. Between the tank lift, the fork bag, and the Memphis set-up, I have NO buffeting.....

Theattached photo is not the mount Memphis offers now.. when I got mine they didnt have a mount for the '06 Dynas yet so I had to fab from an '05 kit........... Their offer looks neater, but ya gota do what ever it takes at the time...
