Well today I adjusted the bars and the turn signals and headed out. I had a headache after 5 miles from the buffeting. I put it a little higher and same thing.

Now I can't lower it anymore because it hits the headlight hood, I plan on getting a new light that mounts to the bottom tree, do you think that would help the buffeting if I lower it all the way?
I found that increasing the angle of the windshield to about 30-35 degrees completely stopped the buffeting. Look at a car windshield..Riffle makes a very good bracket with an increased angle .
