Default Turbulence
Hello,

I have a 2007 Street Glide with standard windscreen I wonder if you guys also have a lot of turbulence around your head. It makes mecrazy! I have layd down on the seat but there was still a lot of wind noise around my head.I wonder if I get lost of it when I buy a higher windscreen. I also take a look for another helmet, maybe that will be better.

What kind of helmet are ya using now? Full face, 1/4, half? You will always get some wind unless you're in a cage with the windows rolled up. You will get wind from under your windscreen. You might consider lowers mounted to your engine guards.

I know what you mean about turbulance. The stock WS looks nice but doesn't do much for protection. I have tried a few WS over the years both with my SG and before with my RG. I think Clearview makes the best shield hands down. I now have the 6.5" black shield with the recurve at the top. Feels as though you have an 8" shield on the bike. Strongly urge you check them out.....

If you are over 5'8" you will need a taller windshield. I'm 5'10" with a 6" and it is fine now.

I use a 12" shield in the winter and an 8" during the summer. The stock SG windshield is useless. If you make a change you'll see a big difference!
