Just a friendly suggestion/shout out for those looking for a new windshield.
While browsing another post, found Madstad Windshield is located in Brooksville Florida.

No, I looked at them while reading another thread. They certainly look interesting for sure.
I wonder if they have demo models to try them. I would be interested for sure.

The vacuum created on my 2019 ElectraGlide creates the draft up from my gas tank, which rattle the helmet and glasses at 70+. On non interstate roads running 55-60 I am good. Hoping this will reduce that issue at the higher speeds.

I know a fellow that drilled about hundred-two hundred 3/16" holes in a windshield and that eliminated the buffeting. Almost ready to do that if this doesn't work.

Windshield arrived today. After I buy drain plug o-rings to finish the fluid change on my 2019 FLHTP, I'll swap windshields and go for a test ride.

I never could figure out what caused that blast of air from under the tanks. The vacuum makes perfect sense.

I’m running an 8" Freedom Shield and HD fangs on a batwing which has completely eliminated the buffeting, but I would be willing to spring for a new windshield if it eliminated it without the fangs.

Let us know how it works please.
