I just received a new 16x16 Windvest for my 2010 WG. No matter where I position it, high, low, tilted back, pushed forward, I get major buffeting. I tried the hand across my chest trick, but didnt feel much air coming from below. Seems like it is hitting me high on the helmet. I am thinking a 14x14 may be better, does anyone have any experience with the smaller Windvest? Especially on the new Wide Glide?

 

Do you have the mounts that go to your risers if so try moving them up, a 16x16 should give you plenty of pertection I had a 14x16 and it worked great

 

My particular model mounts to my handlebars, but I do have the ability to move the shield up or down a total of two inches, which I have messed with over and over.. I guess I will just try to get it as close as I can and live with it..

 

If you did a search, most people who install windshields deal with some level of buffeting. It's the nature of the beast.

Want to cure the buffeting? Remove the darn windshield.

 

I had the same complaints as you did on my '08 wide glide. The answer for me was to order a Cee Bailey's 9" summer shield replacement. It takes almost all of the wind off of your torso and directs smoooth, clean air to your helmet - no buffeting. The Cee Bailey's shield is only about $50. It's also pretty minimalist, so it goes well with a wide glide.

 

I tried both 14 and 16 on my WG and finally gave up.

 

I've pretty much given up on any wind shield period! The more I ride without one the more I get use to it.

 

That's interesting. if you could buy just the brackets from WV I wonder how much cheaper it would be with their replacements ?
