Here is a shot of it on my bike. It only reduces it somewhat... there is still a bit of air coming up... but it was an inexpensive mod ~25 bucks new.

whats it take to mount that? has anyone tried the memphis shades lower fork windscreens added to the addition of the stocker? do those help, or is that a waste of 75 bucks. 25 for the shield part, 50 for the mount brackets

Interesting topic, I got the smaller quick release with my FXDF. I went back and tried the tall one and I believe it was worse. I kept the shorter one but really would like to find a solution for long trips.

Yes they helped my problem a lot! I'm like most, I dont care for windshields much.
But on those looong runs, windshield & bags sure make the trip more enjoyable.
And it all detach's quickly, so you can be cool when you get there..

If you want to keep the short detach screen and find the lowest cost and simplest solution to cure the buffeting, it's the Laminar Lip.

do you need to move the stock blinkers for them to mount? curious as my quick detach i have mounts to the stock blinkers, and can't move them at all, and wondering if i can mount the fork air baffles without moving anything...

Take your left arm and put it across your chest, like a salute, at 55, if that makes you happy, get Jack's Flaps. Nothing to put on the bike at all, just put on the vest and it's fixed.done deal, and waaay simple

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what your asking...

Stock blinkers are on the handlebars.

Your quick detach 'what' mounts to the stock blinkers?

Fork air baffles? are you talking about the Memphis Shades lowers.
If so they mount to the forks. not even close to my blinkers.
If your blinkers are mounted on the forks, then some of this makes sense.

yeah my 2000 dyna wide glide blinkers are mounted on the forks, and the bottom of my datachable windshield slides onto a rubber grommet that is on the blinker shaft, and the top of the windshield slides onto a rubber grommet up top and is the old style quick detach that has a spring type clip, so i couldn't remove the blinkers and move them, as my windshield would have nothing to mount to....here is a pic if you can see it

Yep I see now..
You might have a problem with the system I have... Howeve I'm sure Memphis Shades would have some kind of an option..
