Not trying to start a fight or anythiny just curious. For people with the batwing and have alot of buffeting do you wish you would have gotten a different model. I have a streetglide myself.

 

I don't regret getting mine. The buffetting can be helped by wearing a full face helmet, or by getting a slightly taller windsheild. I'm sure some air deflectors for the wing would take some of the wind off your body, but all in all it really isn't that bad. Then again, this is coming from a guy that has put many 12+ hours non-stop in the saddle of a Night Train with drag bars and no windshield.

 

I have never wished I bought a different model, but I doubt your buffetting is coming fromt he batwing. I assume you are still running the stock windshield. That's where the terrible buffetting is coming from. The stock windshield is worse than no windshield at all to me.

Sometimes I think about a Road Glide but they complain more about the buffering they we do.

I have also thought about a Road King.

If you want to get rid of the buffering, you will need to get a bigger windshield.
I know it kills the sporty looks, but it works. During the winter I use a 14" Half Moon. No buffering.

I haven't taken a picture of the 14" but here's the 12":
I'm 6' and I look over the 12" and through the 14".

 

I've rode across the country on a softail duece with no windshield. and an ulta classic. I will take the ultra over the duece any day of the week.

 

Meet me on the the playground after school, and you better bring some friends.

I feel no buffeting. I have a recurve windshield and a lower profile helmet. A riding bud does get some buffeting but his helmet sits really high on his grape so he's getting a different helmet. Worth a try anyway.

 

Ummm.........No

 

had an '00 FLHT and loved it to death, had no issues with wind buffeting then.

 

If I didn't wanna feel the wind I'd ride in a cage.

 

Very happy with my "Batwing"
