buffeting,help
Put 1K miles on the bike last weekend.... it's not all that bad now.
I really needed to find a solution to run w/windshield, because here in the farmland central, it just gets nasty...
I may try a 1.5" tank lift as well this summer.... not sure that will do anything though.... low on the priority.

Man I thought that I had is solved with the tool bag, but my new seat moved me back some and now I am right back in the air-stream again. What happened is my knees moved down a bit and that is where I get most of it from. I would like to see how the lowers look myself.
I went to the touring windshield and buffeting was gone....put on sundowner seat, moved me a bit and now I am back in it...
Hate the looks of the memphis lowers..but that is me....is there anyone that makes chrome lowers like on a touring model....
Or is there something that goes under tank to flare wind away...when I put my arm across chest, wind buffet is gone. Had to go to goggles because the sunglasses just rattled and blurred vision....now nose gets itchy after a while from shaking/vibrating so much.....need lowers!!!

I do not have a picture with them on. Honestly they do not look that good to me, but in the winter I do not care what it looks like, I just want to keep the cold wind off me.
Here is a picture, but it is not of my bike.

As to something under the tank, I took a bagger fork air baffle and modified it to fit:

I still get some buffeting, but not nearly as bad as it was....

I have a big Harley clip-on windshield, buffeting so bad as to blur my vision. I can't imgine this torture for any length of time. I ride with a full face for max highway comfort.
Get a bagger.
