Do yourself a quick & easy fix !
Buy a higher windshield.
I found the short winshield that comes on the SG (my Wife's bike) had the wind hitting
right on my forehead.She went with a 6" recurve from Clearview.
Alsoput onthe HD adjustable fairing deflectors (like the KuryAkyn ones).
I also just picked up the air baffle that goes between the front forks just under the fairing.

Did a quick search on this Vertigo thing and that sure sounds like me, or at least an ear infection. Maybe in conjuntion with the buffetting is making it pretty bad.

RE: I am getting Dizzy.
First, stop riding till a doc looks at you. Last thing we want is to read a week from now about what happenned... BP, inner ear, stroke, lots of things could be wrong. I had a similar thing happen a few years back, felt like I was going to fall over in turns.I had an inner ear infection that had not started to hurt. A week later I was back after taking the drugs.

RE: I am getting Dizzy.
I agree with all the med problems people posted above. Sometimes it takes moving around a bit for that to show up. I had one show up 200+ feet in air when I was painting the side of a tall girder. friken whipped my head around to pull on my paint lines and then whamo! [sm=outcold.gif][sm=scared09.gif]

Is that the only time this happens to you? If so maybe it is something you can correct on your bike.

RE: I am getting Dizzy.
I'd replace the wind shield if it's stock. I had problems with the wind buffeting and it was kind of making me dizzy.
Good luck!
