My wife is telling me that over 60 mph, the wind forces/ buffeting on the back of my Limited are tiring her out. I'm running the stock windshield on my 2014. I'm 5-10 and she's 5-5. Would a Long Ride or Klock Werks shield help alleviate this?

 

Not really a windshield change.
There's several threads about buffeting to be found on the forum and around the www.
It's all about the airflow and negative pressures,,
Usually (believe it or not) blocking the wind/airflow below the windsheild alongside the forks with wings or even those covers for the crash bars/engine guard change the upward flow and neg pressure area to relieve buffeting.
Try experimenting with stiff cardboard and duct tape before you spend the money

 

I changed the stock shield on my RGS to one from Long Ride Shields. I went slightly taller but the design of the shield, due to the recurve at the top, allowed the airflow to now be pushed up higher. It made a world of difference for me and my girlfriend says it made a big difference for her also. The jetstream no longer blasts us in the face.

 

Why not take the windshield off and get into the wind.

 

Not sure about helping a passenger, but a recurve windshield helps block wind better than a straight one. I am running a Klock Werks on my SG, and it works well. I can still look over it, but the wind is flowing over my head.

Edit: I also leave the fairing vent open all the time. It helps to equalize the pressure behind the fairing and helps with buffeting. Again, not sure if this will effect your passenger though.

 

Says the guy with a big face shield, haha. Wow.

 

This would be something to try. It's free too. Without it, it'll smooth the airflow over the bike. Lastly, you might try a Laminar Lip.

I've heard the LRS Flat Top or Ultra Wide helps the passenger.

 

You can surely try different windshield heights on your scoot but you can also have your wife try riding with a pair of ear plugs. You'd be amazed at the amount of relief they can give a rider or passenger just by alleviating the constant wind noise beating on the inner ear. It'll cost you all of about 50 cents to find out if it'll work for her.

 

I won't ride without a flip shield and have had one since I discovered them. Have had them from different manufacturers but best bang for the buck seems to be LRS.
