What did you do to your 18+ softail today?

I got out a little today... I felt maybe a little buffeting over 100 mph, but the windshield was chattering on the fairing so I picked up some crankcase hose at the AutoZone and I have longer bolts already to space it up 1/4" or so. I'll mess around with it if it is necessary.

PM'd you back. 👍🏻

I do a lot of riding at 80mph, lots of crosswinds, so if this helps at all it'll be a worthwhile investment. If not, I'm only out like $205 and whatever time it takes to install.

I've read a lot about the buffeting, seems like it happens to people from all brands (Banks, Amazon brands, Memphis Shades, etc), just gotta get a little creative on lifting or dampening the windshield somehow.

There is always the LRST fairing kit from Advanblack. Or the FXR fairing from Klockwerks. I personally went with the FXR fairing from RWD. I like the Klockwerks mount system better. The Klockwerks weren't out yet when I did mine. I believe they both can have stereos mounted in them.

I have a box full of nice thick rubber grommets that would likely do the trick, but if not I'll look for some solid pieces like you have pictured!

Another cool add on is the black headlight trim ring. It cleans it up nice I thought.
So is it reducing the buffeting by letting air underneath the windshield? I was never really sure if it was the windshield itself causing the vibrations, or the fairing catching wind awkwardly.
