Check out Memphis Shades for windshields. Very good products from a very best company.

Your buffeting may be coming from under the shield. May need those lower wing things to settle it. Some have said that adding a leather bag to the front of the forks also helps a bunch.

Yes most of the wind feels like it comes from the bottom and sides. If feels really unstable at higher speeds. I haven't tried the bag to see if that helps or not, nor have I found any FX style lowers. I know I feel safer without the windshield and the wind blowing straight on me. I was looking at buying a WindVest 14x14 and see how that works.
