Do you ware a Helmet ????
If so does it fit correct??????
I have heard of people on Motorcycles having strokes because their helmet strap was cutting off the oxygen to the brain. Kinda freaky, Good luck with your problem. Let us know what the doc says.

RE: I am getting Dizzy.
I was thinking that it was just me. I just got a 08 Ultra Classic and have the same thing happing to me. I ware a 1/2 helmet and the wind buffets my head around a just little. It's not so bad I think I'm going to pass out or crash or anything but I do notice my head feels a little funny at times. It doesn't happen to me all the time for the entire ride just some of the time, I'll have to pay more attention next time to see when and at what speed it happens. I was thinking of trying a lower windshield to see if that would help, feels like the wind is just touching the top of my helmet with the stock windshield. Glad to here I'm not going nuts or the only one to notice the buffeting.

I don't think it's medical in my case. I feel fine walking around and the only time I feel it is on the new bike. My old bike was a softail with out a windshield and I never had that problem before. I'm curios how tall are you? I stand about 5 foot 10 1/2 inch.

I do have something going on with my left ear right now though. Noticed it this morning on the way in. About 1/2 way to work it started hurting.

I have never had this problem on my sport bike with a full face helmet. I am 5' 10 1/2 also. I am walking around fine, never felt like I was gonna fall over or anything.

Same height, same half helmet, same stock 12' windshield. I think I see a pattern here! although My ears are fine. Maybe try riding with a full face helmet and see if that helps. I think I'm going to try a lower windshield. I read a few post on the height of windshields and people seem to recommend the top of the shield should be around even with the tip of your noise. So I think I will try a 8" and see if that works, I see tinted ones on e-bay for about 40 bucks so for that kind of money I think its worth a shot. Anyway good luck and I hope you find a way to enjoy you bike. The wife and I are having a blast on ours so it's not enough to discourage me from riding. Went for a 400 mile trip threw the White Mountains of New Hampshire this week end and it was awesome!!!!
