That cured the issue, so I will take comfort over ugly!!!

I also installed the "ashtray" front fork air baffle that mounts on a Road King and that seemed to help a little

You might try putting some masking tape at different heights to see what suits you best. you can cut the one you have down some to save a few bucks. Several videos on YouTube. Not very hard just take your time. Measure twice cut once. I prefer a recurve

Here it is. Took 1 1/2 in off. Took passing lanes advice and used a grease pen to mark spots when I was out and about to find my line. Glad I didn't go off of the measurement I originally took just sitting on her. Thank you everyone again for all the advice, kind words, and just flat out being cool! Take care everyone!
