Default Vent in Street Glide S fairing

Ok does this vent really cut down the buffetting at speed?

Three posts and this is your question? Makes a group wonder but anyway. Do you own one with the vent or asking to possibly get one? Some say it makes a difference, personally I couldn't tell a difference either way. But my OCD kicks in and i ride with it open cause I don't like the button sticking up again OCD. I'm also 5.9 with a full face helmet on visor open and a 7" re curve windshield with lowers on a SG. All could be differences in the buffeting of the melon.

Who cares what the guy's question is Batman! Smh
Anyway, I am one of the few that feels no difference at all on the SG. I'm 6'1 if that makes any difference. The buffeting on a stock bike was enough to rattle the glasses off my face. The taller LRS shield and fairing wings solved the issue for me.

MORE noticeable if you put a taller windshield on.

No, that would be me.

I just took a $1000.00/month off my salary.

Low oil prices suck.

I just put a down payment on a SGS but I really don't notice a difference. Wanted to see what people say.
