I rode an ultra for years and had no buffeting issues at all. I bought a Road Glide over the winter and although I like it the buffeting is making it almost un rideable. Today if I got to 65 it felt like it was going to take me off the bike. I've never had issues like that before on my Ultra. Suggestions please, I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam. I went to the local Harley shop and looked at the windsplitter shields. I also looked on line at the Klok Werk shields. Is one better than the other and will it help get rid of the terrible buffeting. I'm guessing I'll get a 12" shield of some kind. Anyone with either of these shields or a different one even that will work please chime in.

 

I've used Freedom and Windvest 12" , I'm 5'10" 28" inseam and both work great

 

People swear by the Madstad http://www.madstad.com/

I can't get past the look of the Madstad, so I installed a Long Ride Shield http://www.longrideshields.com/

 

I actually have both and I'm 5'8", what do I win??? Seriously, I bought the windsplitter because it was the only thing on the market last fall when I got my 15 RG. It was "ok", but not great so I purchased the Klock Werks over the winter.

I've gotten two rides in and it is night and day better than the WS. I got the 14" sport flare and my eyes are about 3-4" above the top. The wind seems to be thrown about 6-8" over my head.

 

12" Windvest and lowers makes for a nice ride with just a little air movement. No buffeting. It's the lowers that make the difference.

I use Freedom shields. The Lowers make a huge difference. Comparing an Ultra to a Road Glide with no lowers isn't a fair comparison. I have a 2015 CVO Road Glide. I can run 70 MPH and my 6in Goatee hangs there pretty as can be

 

its smooth as can be behind my madstad, but I have lowers on my ultra

What year is your bike? I am assuming 2015 as you indicate that you got it this winter. I have the Klock Werks Sport Flare. I am 6'1", but buffeting is non-existent. Have you tried different combinations of open and closed with the lower and upper fairing vents?
