I get that at any speed on any bike when wearing a full face helmet. When I stop, it goes away. I just though it was mental, can't get to it so its gonna itch.

Maybe it allergies or something like that. Just think about all that air rushing up your nose. Just a thought....

I put on a set of H-D Polyurethane Handlebar Riser Bushings on the apes and the feeling dropped in half. Just watch how much you torque them down when you put them on. I always wanted a way to describe eating wassabe on Japanese food, that is as close as you can get. Sorry, about to get off night shift.

Happens to me and I do not have a windsheild but a big roman nose. You can ski jump off it.

This would not happen if our motors were not a rigid mounted style. Yes they use rubber mounts but they are bolted on and vibrations travel. Just ask the Beach Boys. Gosh I wish it was riding weather.

Even though it's present above 70 mph, it' even worse when I have a balaclava on. I'm learning how to ride with left hand on the grip, throttle lock locked, right had on the nose.
