Blocking wind from upper body and chin & ears
I'm tired of getting wind slapped in the face & chin & ears from the wind that gets around the fairing and comes up between your thighs and rear of tank. If I lay my arm across my chest it totally blocks this wind and creates a pocket of calm dead air between the inner faring and my upper body. As a result i have no air slapping my ears and chin, I can hear the radio clearly and even the quite stock exhaust pipes. i enjoy the ride so much better if i could ride like this all the time,
But I can't ride with one are acrossed my chest all the time. What is a better solution to eliminate the major updraft in your face ear slap. and create this calm dead air pocket i long for.

Check around there is a site called flaps or something like that.
From what I seen its a shirt or jacket that let the pockets come up just a little to keep the wind off your face.
Don't know if its worth a poo or not.

I dont own a car but i own a FXDWG too and the wind doesnt bother me getting hit head on but i just find it more enjoyable if that part of the wind updraft was controlable on a long distance crusier.

Seriously that's funny! But try adding lowers. Huge difference in turbulence
With mine off. But here in az I have them off all summer. They only go back on when the weather is in the 50's.

Jack's Flaps AeroVest. He's a member of the forum. Here's his website.
I tested one from him and works just like holding your arm across your chest. I didn't believe it until I tried one.

I just put the fork wind deflectors on my bike and problem solved. Harley doesn't make them to fit the SG, but these guys do: www.street-glide.com
