How about just take the windshield off.Never had a windshield never had a problem with buffeting.A more aerodynamic fairing would also solve the problem.I have ridden sport bikes with the smaller quarter style fairings and also never had a problem with buffeting.

Some folks have taken the front fork air baffle from the baggers and modified it to fit the Dynas.

I had the very same problem. The Memphis Shades lowers fixed it for me. They are removeable. Once the brackets are attached, it less than 5 minutes on and off.

Wind buffeting? I've only found just one true solution. Ditch the windshield (those are for cages) and

GO FASTER! :-)

I've got a Windvest enroute to me as we speak. I'm hoping it will do the trick, the HD detachable windshield I have now is unbearable. I added lowers and that helped, but not enough.

08 Street Bob with a HD detachable mounted almost as high as it goes and it's okay. Full face helmet. Maybe the Fat Bob because of the double headlights lets more air come up underneath? Madden23's idea sounds good to me.
