I put a windshield on my 07 Dyna for long rides and ...you guessed it..I still get some head buffeting...seems to be a problem with wind coming up from under the bottom edge of the shield , lowers would probably help, but I don't like the look of them, so I will deal with it. Try this next time you ride, hold your arm across your chest and see if the buffeting subsides any, that will tell you if it coming from underneath,if in fact that does help checks out Jacks Aero Vest, supposedly it helps in this situation also. I hope some of this info is a help to you....as far as the big girl panties go...maybe one of those guys will loan your a pair of theirs....

Who knows when the bike actually gets delivered—I have been waiting 4 weeks and have a feeling it might be another 4 weeks before I see it—but I will keep this info in mind. Thanks for sharing your experience, Tom.

So it was my fault for not looking at the 7 day policy. You are correct as far as my neglecting to become familiar with the policy. I am quite familiar with wind please read the full thread. Now let’s address your statement "take the windshield and beat me with it". Low class dude. I did nothing to incite your silly virtual personal attack so I take nothing from it. Please read the full post and you may get a better of who I am. I am a rider and a PRO road racer doubt me and I can fax you my license, 10 years of Army service in artillery, a Master Mason in good standing and usually a hell of a nice guy but I will say that no one will beat me with a windshield. You are entitled your opinion but it is unfounded and inaccurate being that you were not the one riding my bike. I’m not sure why you seem to feel compelled to defend Whitt’s poor customer service policy. Do you or a family member work there? If so I will refer you again to read the post, I did not have an issue with the folks at Whitt’s more of a problem with the policy.

Regards,
Tom

We looked down it and found the next red flhr and that was the date it shipped on got it a couple weeks later. not sure if they still do this or not.
