RE: dyna questions
Caution. Often a windshield can make matters worse with buffeting. One to tall and you cannot see thru it. one to low and it can make things worse. A roll of the dice here. Words of wisdom as i have been down this road several times with bikes. You need to see over the top , not look thru the windshield . Many agree with this . I just ordered a shorter one for my Heritage as the stock one was way too tall.

RE: dyna questions
I have had my compact HD windshield for only two weeks. I'd been wanting one and a benefit ride in the cold motivated me to get one. I was very skeptical based on reviews in the forums here. I am pleasantly pleased with the experience. There is definately buffeting, but it is minimal compared to wind hitting my chest at 65 mph and the relief from the cold temperatures.

RE: dyna questions
For those of you in helmet states, remember that the helmet effects how much buffeting happens. I had a problem with buffeting and tried various solutions. When I had to replace my helmet because of a monor spill (wouln't have been so monor if I wasn't wearing that helmet 
) the new helmet had better aerodynamics. My buffeting went away almost completely.

RE: dyna questions
Another thing is that the buffeting comes from the air flowingUNDER the the windshield. Disturb that flow somehow and you can break up the buffeting.

Also, sometimes a toolbag mounted or Chrome Lowers can break things up.
