Fugly! IMO a Heritage should remain as stock looking as it always has. I have 1000's of miles on my Heritage with stock windshield and I installed a pair of the Kury lowers (fangs). I have absolutely no buffeting. I can light and smoke a cig while riding 70 mph and keep the ash on it. Buffeting on most bikes is coming from below and up the riders thighs and under helmet. The windshield is only a small part of the solution. I like the classic look of the Heritage windshield and would not replace it when it does a good job.

There is a better way for most.

Get a Tank Lift. It will direct more air over the engine, and much less will come over the top of the tank to hit the rider in the chest.

Not only will this reduce buffeting, it also gets the tank up off the chrome rocker covers for a better look and easier cleaning.

Typically engine temps will drop by 10-15 degrees.

Here is a thread where this was discussed recently.

On the street glide fairing, it's molded right in and looks very nice. On a full, clear, upright shield... well, I'd prefer the street glide faring. (just for a joke, has anyone priced these fairings? You'll stroke out from sticker shock)
