I have the same setup, i.e., 18" windshield. Same issues too, wind buffeting so severe I felt like a bobblehead. I guess 'cause I'm old, I really don't care as much how my bike looks to others, so I'll do what makes sense to me. And that means form follows function. I put the fangs on mine, and they absolutely work. I may PC them this winter, along with the fork legs, but maybe not. At this point, a more comfortable seat may take precedence. Another thing that helped was using a half helmet. Not terrifically happy with that idea, but it reduces the felt buffeting.

Yeah I tried sitting up more, slouching down, no help. If I put my arm up in front of me and **** my forearm in front of my chest, the bufetting is greatly reduced, leading me to determine the I need lowers, or maybe a helmet the doesn't catch the wind. Mebbe in the spring I'll ask my dealer to borrow a half helmet that they dole out with the rentals and try it.

maybe I'm the only one, but I absolutely love that bobbed fender! I have always had the idea to go ahead and do that to mine, but now that I see it, I am seriously considering it! I think it looks awesome.
But, then again, I loved the Night Train.
So, lets say one would want to put on this fender, what would it involve? I know you need the fender, get it prepped and painted and then you would need the tail light, but is that it?

Not a fan of crash bars either (from an aestetics standpoint... I can absolutely understand how they could save your leg if you go down).

My bike looks so naked now...I got over a dozen parts in getting PC'd.
Just doesn't feel right.
Oh I finally crossed into the Kurymarket...only tail-light bar that had a basic plate holder below the tail-light. HD had un-needed fender thingy that goes with their deluxe bar.
And....here are my Carlini 1.5" freeway bars also getting PC'd atm. And yes my gf gave more strange looks sitting at the dining table pretending:P
