which wind deflectors?
which style is it that works to keep air from coming up from the bottom as much? I see ones shaped like a half dish that I think mount to back of triple tree then a pair that mount to outside of forks.
I see them listed for about everything except my 05 deluxe.
I'm dont have any crazy buffeting issues but anytime I put the windshield on air from the bottom blows my beard clear up over my eyes and top of my head and keeps it there. without the windshield it splits in half and tucks under each ear on its way to the back of my neck.

+1 for Harley fangs on my '17 Heritage. Don't mind the looks, absolutely LOVE the result. I have had a hate/hate relationship with every motorcycle I have owned and this solution WORKS!!

Am I the only one that isn't affected by this? I never saw this as an issue when I had my windshield, and even more so now that I put on a full fairing? What am I missing?

You may be on to something here, I'm not very tall at 5'7" Just never really felt it. Perhaps it's a highway thing?
You must be one of the few, or have a short torso. My 2020 was pretty "dirty" until adding taller/recurve shield & JES Wind Deflectors < https://www.jescustomaccents.com/Win...ectors_c34.htm >

Some people take a bike and keep adding garbage until they can feel no wind. A jeep owner takes the doors and top off so they can get in the wind. I don't get it.

Well....since you brought it up...I wear prescription glasses and it's not really fun riding when my vision's distorted fm all the wind-tunnel vibration. Clean airflow corrects this issue.
