500 miles on my 17 Road Glide Ultra with no issues whatsoever. Most of us are far more passionate when we have an issue than when we don't and the internet gives that passion a voice.

That's very poetic. Can I have a hug?

I noticed teh stock exhaust sounds better than the TC stock exhaust, I changed over to the screamin eagle pipes and they are just right not too loud not too quiet.

Noticed some head buffeting with my new 2017 Ultra (stock windscreen). I am new to the bagger bikes, previous bikes had no fairing or windscreen at all. Installed a demo of the 7" HD re-curve windscreen. No more buffeting but now the air stream hits me right in the middle of my forehead (I am 5'11"). Stock windscreen had the air stream hitting me right at the very top of my helmet. Question, by lowing the air stream is this the solution? Or should I get a taller screen to have the airflow up off of my helmet all together. I am sure this is personal preference, just looking for opinions. By the way I like the air hitting me in the forehead....
