2 things I recommend:
1. do you have an air baffle? If not, then get one. it mounts
under the batwing between the forks and directs the wind
instead of up to you between the tank and fairing.
2. I like the customflhtwindshield , they are about 4" wider
than stock and help tremendously with buffeting.

Can't tell from your pic. What winshield do you have and do you have the "wings" on your fairing?

I like the shield I posted earlier, BUT, the stock shield
is no good IMHO. There are several others out there
that would do a better job, that would help. I think
you will want to put the baffle back on after trying
without it but give it a shot. I also have the chrome
lowers that mount on your forks $65.00 I think. They
say not for bikes with lowers but they can be adjusted
to clear no problem and that helped also, may take them
off for more airflow when it gets HOT here.

Funny when I had my 09 EGC I added lowers and the fairing wind deflectors and thought the same thing. Seemed like it tunneled the wind straight up in my face more so than before I installed them. Dunno if it was one or the other or both working together that caused it though.
