I use those JES, too. They are compatible with the Ultra faring lowers.

2016 FLHTK here. Looking to replace the stock windshield and remove as much buffeting as possible for myself and my girl. We get above 50 and for her the buffeting is pretty bad. To remove as much buffeting as possible for us both, should I be looking through the windshield or over the top. I prefer to be looking over the top of the shield and not through it? As for the brands is there a particular brand or model that is best for two up?

I'm following this thread pretty closely. Also, I'm 5'10". I can see just above the stock windshield when two-up.

My backrest, and the way I adjusted it for support and comfort, changed my tired posture to the same as my non-tired posture. I no longer had to deal with the top of my windshield edging into my forward view as the day progressed.
