I'm wondering if any of you Road Gliders out there with or without fairing lowers get complaints from passengers about turbulence. I hear it alot from the wife that she gets all the wind while I sit behind the batwing. I've been thinkin about switching out the batwing for a shark nose as a winter project.
I have an RG, and I think the wind will always be there with either model. However, with the RG, the driver seems to get more wind than the passenger. My passenger never complain about the wind or any turbulence while riding with me.

Whiskers thats a nice ride there, but I gotta wonder if your passenger complains about having to squeeze on to that seat with ya. Does she ride in front or behind? or can you strap a pillow on that rack and ride three up? [sm=boink3.gif]
I usually try to keep my passenger away from them refried beans, if the "African Barking Spider" noises continue, I just turn up the tunes! If I notice a green fog permeating, I just roll on the throttle.
