I'm on an Ultra Limited. My wife wears a half helmet and complained of buffeting. I use a Klock Werks 6.5 and don't have an issue. I ended up buying her a face shield for her helmet. It covers from her helmet line to just below her nose. No more complaints.

Thanks all. I knew I wasn’t the first guy to deal with this issue and I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.

Gf and I went from 3/4 to full face. Primarily to use the SENA. But the reduction in buffeting was remarkable at highway speeds. Reduces fatigue on long rides. They take a little getting used to

Have the same bike but a 15, went with the thresher shield from LRS. Most of my time on the bike is riding 2 up with my 5'4" wife and we normally wear 1/2 helmets. Going out on a limb but I don't recall her complaining about the wind being any worse than the batwing we had prior to the RG. I also may not have been really listening if she did complain. Seriously her only complaint is the lack of adjustable passenger foot pegs.

I have an ultra limited and my wife complains as well. May try the faceshield. I have the LRS upswept windshield or whatever it is called. I do like the exercise thing, but I do not think I will bring it up.

I have a 2017 RG Ultra and first thing that went on was a LRS windshield. Got the 10" Thresher, tinted one, and look over the windshield.
My wife wears 1/2 helmet and has never had any issues..
