Default Exhaust fumes

I have a 2009 Ultra Classic and love to ride. I do take lots of trips but buffering behind the windshield has been a problem. I have installed front fork deflectors, 1/2 moon fork deflector in hopes of stopping the buffering. I have recently taken advantage of the Long Ride 60% discount and installed an Elite Ultra windshield. O must say all of these have greatly reduced buffering and my radio has never sounded so good. Now for the bad part, I really am smelling lots of exhaust fumes now. No leaks in the system just lots of fumes . Anyone else experienced this?

I had the same thing with the fork deflectors and ash tray also at times it was real bad. I had the adjustable wings to help move some fresh air in but ditched the fork deflectors and wings, and went to a fixed wing and all is good no more fumes and no buffeting, the fixed wings go down below the fairing a few inches, it was the fork deflectors for me. I have a 9" LRS
