Default wind coming under windshield

How do I prevent the wind from coming up under the Memphis Shades Fats windshield I just put on my 2002 SG? I cannot ride at interstate speeds because the pocket of fast moving air coming under the windshield, over my knees and up across my chest and in front of my face.
Thanks for any help.

Fork Wind Deflectors.. aka Fangs. They don't look like it but they make a huge difference.

I put a set of lowers on my FXD and it reduced the buffeting behind the windshield by about 80% at highway speeds.

Fork deflectors, I call them walrus tusks... After putting them on my SG I could light a smoke at interstate speed and kept the 3 inch windshield. Of course then I traded the SG in on a wide glide because I missed the wind in my face.

I've got a set of Memphis Shades lowers I added to mine, only use them (and the windshield) for long trips. It doesn't eliminate it by any means, but it does help some. You're never going to get rid of all the air movement that you're describing though. I've tried.
