Default roadking windshield

hi everyone im having problems with windshields for this bike.i had a memphis shade on it and had a major promblem with buffering.so i got a 20in roadking oem glass and it was right in my eye sight.so i cut it down to a 19 can see great but the buffering is killing me.what do i do go lower to maybe 17 or do i just get a taller glass and look through it.maybe a 21 or a 22.

Try the fork deflectors. Only time I get wind is when I put my feet on the hiway pegs.

The Wind Baffle works for me. I only use the fork deflectors in the winter. I also have my seat lowered a couple of inches and Road King High Bars(which lets me set back farther) which might help. I cut my windshield just below my eye level.

Stay with a 19" shield. Buy a Clearview with the recurve. The recurve is supposed to direct the wind 2" above a standard shield. Just my .

well the 19 is good.i can see perfect over it but the buffering is bad.i called clearview and waiting on an answer from them because all i c is 18.5 and then they have 20 and up so i just wanted to c if the 18.5 would be good.before i cut the 20in windshield i didnt notice any buffering but it was hard to c because it was in my sight so i wasnt paying any attention to that just wanted to get off the freeway.but thanks for the info everyone
