I just got a 2008 fatboy and i love everything about it but when you get up around 60 MPH the wind wants to blow my legs apart so on long rides it wears out my thighs. I put lower wind deflectors on which helped a little but it's still a problem. Anybody else have this problem?
Get some soft rubber foot boards and wear golf shoes

Is the OP male or female? maybe it's not the wind but the vibration causing this to happen.

You could always look on the bright side, on a hot day it would be one way to keep your crotch from getting too hot.
