Road spray and sand blowing up between tank and faring
I have a 2024 SG I have about 2000 miles on it. I am 5 foot nine and have the 8 inch HD windshield on it. I get awful buffeting and a lot of road spray and sand coming up on both sides of the tank my jacket and seat get totally soaked and have little pieces of sand and gravel that are throwing up from the front wheel. I have not experienced this with my previous Harleys anybody else having this problem and if so, what are you doing? I noticed that the front fender is significantly shorter probably due to the cooling system.

I have not experienced severe buffeting or dirt/sand from the fender. Now, Yes, they are shorter, and yes, you get a lot of splash and dirt on the radiator cover.. and thus on the radiator fins. I was thinking about changing the fender for a Klock werks wrapped one, larger one that ends exactly leveled with the radiator cover. No splash, no dirt. But.. even though i dont think it interferes or affects the cooling system, this gave me something to think about...
Anyone thinking the wrapped fender will have a negative impact on the cooling system?
