Default Buffeting gone!
I tried some fork wind deflectors. Very happy. Buffeting is now managable.

Watch the fit on many of theses models ... Some will hit the "Lowers" if you have them.

I seen the craziest thing in the world of wind deflectors at a rally yesterday.

Little wind scoops that Velcro strap to your leg just below the knee.

The demo booth shows a video the thing in use, seemed to work.

I put the same on my Road King a couple weeks ago and I cannot believe what a difference those two small pieces of aluminum cause. I went from terrible helmet shake over 70 mph to none!

Journeyman, you have to tell us the name of the company. If nothing else, to satisfy the curiousity. Tried to google from your description but nothing. LOL
