On mine I have the standard "compact" Harley windshield and yes, at 70 or above wind coming around and up from lower forks creates a lot of turbulence and lift on helmets. If you wear glasses, like I do, this is a real PIA. The only solution is lower fairings, and I think the clear ones look best. Another option that works well for me is goggles with a low profile half-helmet. The turbulence itself really isn't the big issue, it is the double/triple vision of glasses shaking that drives me crazy. Even happens with a full face on but not as bad. With goggles and my glasses underneath I can ride at 85 without the windshield and no shake at all. Of course, if I lose my grip I will flip off the back of the bike. ;-)
