Default Windshield questions

Hi guys, I have a 2010 Ultra Classic and am currently using the stock 12" windshield with it. I want to use a lower tinted style but have issues with wind buffering messing with my vertigo when I ride. I have no issues riding with the stock one in place, but when I tried the lower (7.5") one from Harley the wind buffering was terrible and had to put the stock one back on.

I have been told that the Klockwerks 8.5 Flared windshield will be way better than the stock one is, but someone also said the National Cycle Vstream is even better...

Help!

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as I am fairly new to the Harleys. I have tons of motocross experience, but not a whole lot of street smarts yet. Love my new ride, cannot believe I waited so long to get one!

There are many brands of aftermarket screens. Best ones I've found are the ones made by Windvest. I'm sure you will get many different opinions! If you get to any major rally, most of the vendors are there and you can see your options in person.

Lots to choose from. I have a polycarbonate Long Ride Shields 9" recurve and love it, plus I think they're on sale this weekend
