Your bike looks like an Ultra...Does it have lowers or is it contoured to your liking the way it is ? With a set of lowers and the cheap Harley flaps that fit on the engine guard, you will not get much or any, in some cases. I have a Road Glide Special that I am going to put a set of lowers on to kill the buffeting although I don't haver much with my stock setup and the plastic flaps.
I don't like the fangs either.

I am going to buy a batwing Madstaad this spring.

If you really want to do away with buffeting on a Fugly the best way is a Madstaad windshield. When I installed it on my old RGU my first thought on the first ride was "Wow I have to turn down the stereo, it is too loud!". You may not like the look, but nothing else even comes close. This is what HD was trying to do when they introduced the fairing vents. The calm air pocket on my RGU was much better than on my new CVO.

Picked up and installed my fangs yesterday and had a chance to spend 3 hours riding today. They definitely make a huge difference in the buffeting. They don't even look bad on the Road King, they kind of blend in with the chrome front end. I do see myself taking them off in the warmer months though as well and my windshield. I would definitely recommend them if you're okay with the look.

While I have an older bike, the buffeting problems are the same. Eliminated most of the buffeting with Memphis Shades contoured lower fairing deflectors, H-D lower triple tree wind deflector and a 7" Fastaire flip (re-curve) windshield. Made a tremendous difference. You couldn't pay me to add those fork mounted deflectors.
