Are you running apes? when i have mine pushed forward it gets a little wierd at high speeds. i pull them back a little (almost in line with the tubes) no more front end shack.

 

I was talking to a guy yesterday, while standing by my FLHTCUI. He asked me if the Batwing caught the wind and pushed me around. I told him no it was great, I can ride comfortably in 35 degree weather. He said he didn't like having a windshield on his Yamaha. He told he just trailered his bike to Fla, went for a ride one day, then trailered to another part of Fla and rode another day. WOW, bet his grandkids will fall asleep around the campfire to that adventure. I don't blame him for trailering from WI, but from one part of FL to the next? Get a friggin windshield and ride the MF.

 

I got my wind vest last month. Did wonders to cruising above 65 mph. Made it much more comfortable. Looks great on my bike too. I like it very much.

 

My windshield sits in the garage all year and gets put on maybe once or twice a year for a ride longer than about 400 miles. Anything short of that really isn't needed for me.

 

Not needed around town but for freeway speeds and long rides its ****. Nothing sweeter than seeing a rock or big bug flying right for your face and then---WHOP--- it smacks the windshield, not your face! Cool.

 

Agreed. On highway trips a windshield is a must. Takes a 60-80mph worth of wind of your chest. Without it its like being in a perpetual pull-up. Doesn't look cool w/drag bars though.

 

I don't find it is a must on the highway at all unless I'm doing a very long ride like an ironbutt or something.

 

Pig. Do you ride when the temps are below 50? I almost froze to death riding in 43 degrees at night for 5 hours. I wasn't dressed properly, too. Little Hellfire windshield made a big difference to me, on Vulcan 750. Flhtcui fairing and lowers like riding in Heaven! Maybe your blanket is keeping you warm!

 

Thanks Pete that sounds good others I talked to agree also they said to change the fork oil after 66k it's sounds like a good fix.

 

Yea I ride in the winter too. I have to admit this past winter I rode a lot less though. I have rode in 20 degree weather before and holy crap my hands were so freezing I didn't think I'd be able to pull the clutch in when we got off the highway. Will try never to ride in that cold of weather again. I usually don't ride much below 40 degrees.
In cold weather I still have a half helmet and no windshield but I do have a neoprene face mask on and that keeps my face pretty warm. My legs don't get real cold with long johns and jeans. long john shirt, shirt and jacket keep the body warm. I finally bought some decent gloves last year so hopefully this winter my hands will stay warmer than they have been.
