Get the wind deflectors. Good discussion on the following thread, if I must say so: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softail-models/284671-wind-deflectors-they-work.html

ClearView arrived!
Got my clear view the other day and have ridden a few time with the longest ride over 40 min at 70-85 MPH on a windy day.
I must say that the new clear view has not eliminated all of the wind buffeting but 70% of it, and this was when I did have the half helmet on.
If I would have tried this before I would undoubtedly gave my self a headache, felt fine after I got home!
Basically I think I could ride 200 miles refill the gas tank and take off again thats what I wanted all along. Now to add some saddle bags!
Still havent added the Memphis lowers but plan to next spring since our ridding season is nearing the end (unfortunately)
The Honda vent doesnt look as bad as I thought it would and may prove to be a decent addition when ridding in hotter weather.
With this big screen I can ride down to 50F, in Iowa we do get cooler sooner so that is a plus.
I think I can say that I am happy with the shield, I havent been caught in the rain yet but dont think that will be a problem.
