MAGIC !
On a side note, I put on a full face helmet last week end because of the cold. After all my mods to eliminate buffeting, buffet with the full face, zero buffet with a half helmet.

This. With a full face helmet you want laminar flow hitting you at about eye level, think CalSci.

So my 2 cents. I’m 5’5 and just traded in a 14 Ultra Limited that I lowered for a 19 Electra Glide Standard. I just didn’t need all the “stuff” that comes on the Ultra. Anyway, the head buffeting was unbelievable at all speeds above 20kph. 3 Windscreens, Triple Tree Deflector, Fangs, Mustang Seat that I cut down (I am short) and now I can.get to 70kph before I can no longer see. All I have left now is to add the Lower Fairings. Gonna order in XFMT Lowers from Amazon and see what happens. I never had this problem on all my previous rides. Here’s hoping.

Be sure you order the same style as the newest lowers, and leave the fangs on. I have a Standard set up this way, using the stock windshield, and have no buffet with a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet. With a full face, bad buffet.

I installed a 11.5 inch Klockwerks Flare on my Ultra Classic and found a significant difference in buffeting and noise. Was able to hear the radio more than before, and a significant reduction in buffeting when at highway speeds behind trucks.
