Smile turbulence

Hi Guys (again),
Been trying to search out some responses to the SG turbulence problem, notwithstanding screens and buffeting etc I recall from my last SG that I could feel a lot of turbulence coming up inside and behind the batwing and note in the P&A Catalogue there is a wind baffle that fits beneath the headlight....has anyone tried this or found a cure......or am I the only one to notice it -LOL
Cheers

I use the wind deflectors that attach to the bat wing and a slightly taller Clearview re-curve windscreen. Cures 90% of the buffeting and I am nearly 6'1" tall.

m.a.c.

Thanks, I get the screen and wind deflectors, but I always feel a lot of the turbulence is coming up from beneath the batwing as much a over it. Have to say I have never tried the wind deflectors that fit on the batwing so maybe they are a big help.

I have the fork baffle (PN 5820-79TC) on my 2010 Ultra Classic. Put it on only a few days after buying the bike. Reduced some of the turbulence but does not eliminate it completely. It's only 25 bucks. Give it a try.
