Default I am getting Dizzy.

I don't know what's going on. I have been riding sport bikes for years and never had this problem. I just bought my first Harley, 07 SG and I have been getting little dizzy spells. Is it all the wind buffetting on my head? Anyone know what's going on? Feaking the hell out of me.

That's too scary - think I would be checking my BP and visiting the doctor for a check up quickly.

BP is fine, It's only certain times on the bike. Not anyother time.

Does your bike have the air deflector Harley now sells as an accessory?

Seems to be affecting a lot of riders. Keep an eye on the BP.

If B/P is ok, could be early stage of inner ear infection or vertigo. I'm not a doc but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

"Is it all the wind buffetting on my head? "

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.

Ismell exhaust fumes at times. I have a short windscreen. Or maybe it's such a plush ride you're getting slepy?

You know my right ear starts to hurt also. I thought it was just from the wind. Takes about 10 minutes then it starts to bother me, noticed it this morning. Hmmm......
