You are actually getting a wind riding a motorcycle in the winter? And its cold? I'm sure there's a warranty malfunction in there somewhere.
Well, there are a couple of options that might offset selling a beautiful bike. I personally use a wind repellent like this one on cool damp summer evenings:
During the winter I prefer something a little more manly. I haven't had an issue with wind, cold, rain or snow since I started wearing this:
My wife even has her own wind repeller for riding 2-Up. She doesn't feel any wind either.

+1 On the above. I also have the tall windshield. Keeps me much warmer and almost dry in the rain at interstate speeds.

I always feel that question is like a double edged sword. The batwing will give better protection to the rider but the sharknose will give you a beter ride in the wind in regards to handling.
I wish I can combine the two but life is full of compromises.

The chrome wind deflectors seem like a good idea but do they interefere with air flow to the engine and impact engine cooling? Should wind deflectors be removed in warmer weather to aid engine cooling?
