Turbulence and windshields
Turbulence and windshields
I just got an 09 FLHRC and have incredible turbulence with the stock windshield.
As I recall from some years back a shorter shield helped this problem?
I would like some input before I hack 2 to 3 inches off.
I'm 5' 9" if that helps??
Give me your feedback

The air baffle will help a lot! The best $25 I ever spent on chrome. It's stock (but plastic) on the Road Glide but not on the other touring bikes for some strange reason. Part number is 58520-79TC. Don't do anything to your windshield until you try this first!

I just added the baffle and hate it. Made the buffeting worse. I guess every situation is unique. I think I'm going to try the clearview recurve with the same 9.5" height I currently have.
I'm also going to take the little visor off my shorty helmet and see if that helps.

I have a 9" inch shield that I put on during warmer weather, and I think the turbulance is less with the shorter shield.
