What helmet do you find causes buffeting the most?

 

As far as 1/2 helmets go, any thing that sits like a mushroom seems to cause issues. In addition those little visors seem to amplify the issue.

 

what is this helmet thing u speak of?

 

No helm, 10" w/shield, no buffeting

 

Hey, news flash, buy a 2014 and you won't have any, so I have heard.....

 

Take your lowers off and put fork mounted wind deflectors on and be happy, happy, happy.

 

maybe you need a ford or chevy that otta fix the problem

 

I have the fork deflectors, adjustable fairing wings, and the little half moon shaped thing that mounts on the trees. I can run a 4" Sg shield with no bufeting regardless of helmet choice. - By far the fork deflectors gave me the most bang for the buck.

Prior to these add on, I got way more with my FF Modular. My 1/2 is an HD helmet with the screw on shield and a small visor. It does way better then any other helmet I'v run. Probably the shield on the helmet prevents the wind from catching on the visor and flapping it around.

 

Half helmet with visor & stock windshield no buffeting. Maybe on a long road trip throw on a taller windshield.

 

I can hear buffeting with a full face but don't feel it and only slightly feel it when I switch to my 3/4.Look at it aerodynamically most full face are built with aerodynamics in mind and the wind is hitting a flat smooth surface instead of your face.A 3/4 is mostly smooth except for your face, a half helmet is shaped like a parachute.
