Worst aerodynamics

This is just a small rant. I took my Electra Glide on its first long trip to Americade. The time I got to Americade I had pounding headache from getting smacked around from the wind turbulence. I could not even read the street signs. I had a Bell custom 500 helmet on. I had to buy a new windshield and fairing wind deflectors when I got there. Now after $200 it was tolerable. I almost rather ride my Lowrider instead at least its a straight wind. I know Harley does not give a **** about there customers but dam you have been using this fairing since what the 70's ? Don't get me wrong I love the bike. I love Harleys. It rides and handles great. Radio's great and storage is great. Just when you spend 20k for a bike you would think little things like this would not be over looked. I know stop my whining. Don't feed the troll

. Americade was a great time everyone should try it out.

I'm on my 2nd Bagger and I just haven't had issues, I went from an EGC to RG and I don't have the buffeting, etc, is it just me?
