Do a tank lift and add cooling deflector wings. Problem solved.

Bonus - Engine will run cooler, too.

I went with them because I HATE the look of the fork wind deflectors, and the fork deflectors block some airflow to the engine.
I might give that Kury device a shot. I just hate Kury products as a general rule

I added them to my bike. They help a little bit for buffeting, but not truly solved, yet. Is the tank lift a must?

i am hoping this helps with the buffeting with the ashtray thing. Lol
I too HATE the look of the fangs. I should be able to update by next weekend.

When you put the fangs on you can turn your handlebar and you will see where they are going to hit the lower fairing. mark that spot with a piece of masking tape then remove them and carefully bend that area to clear. You can pad it with a piece of leather in a vise to protect it so you can bend it to clear. It will look fine and your buffeting will be gone. The ashtray under the triple tree does very little compared to the fangs.
