Default Fairing Recommendations- Low Rider

Got a 2019 FXLR and updated to a sundowner seat. I am 6' and tried the Harley 19" Super Sport windshield. I had to return the windshield because I was getting extreme wind buffeting and could not see clearly... Any one have similar issues or have a recommendation for another windshield? I was looking at the Memphis Shades Road warrior with maybe an 11 " windshield but don't want to waste my time if it won be any better.... I want to be able to look over the windshield and not through it...

All the windshields I've had that I look over my helmet buffeted. On both my RKs if I set up straight I can look over, but normally I'm looking through the windshield with little to no buffeting on either. Some say its the helmet type that causes it. IDN.
Good luck

Honestly...... Youre gonna deal with buffeting.... Connelys retro T w extended screen on my LRS, which puts it just at my sightline... Even on my streetglide with extended Klockwerks screen just at sightline I get buffeting... Its either on your chest or helmet, you gotta pick which one.

I put the 19 inch windshield on my 18 Fat Bob that Harley offers and have been really happy with it. With neck issues that I have I had to decide form over function I chose function and glad I did.
