'06 NT with a quick detach windshield. Buffeting is bad whether on stock seat or Tall Boy. Would shorter screen do the trick?

 

By chance, do you wear a helmet?
&nbsp\\;
Sometimes the worst buffeting is caused by the helmet sun visor/or overall shape of the helmet. If legal in your state, try a ride without the helmet, or if you can, remove the visor and see if the buffeting goes away.

Voyager is right, They just suck or should I say Blow? By the way Voyager Those are two of my favorite movies in your avatar. ride safe.

 

Try putting a fork bag on. I had the same problem and the fork bag did away with alot of it.

 

I have a 16" quick detach windshield on my 07 nt and I get buffeting at 70 plus mph or into a strong head wind. I still think it is worth it to have. I have a HD fork bag also.

 

I get the very high frequency buffet. My Deuce had stock quick detach, sport model I guess, which was fairly short to begin with. I whacked 3" off top trying to minmize buffet....no change...still buffets. Changed rake of windscreen...no change. About the same with no helmet, full face and 3/4, visors up or down. The bag trick helps delay it. A leather jacket bungeed across bars helps a bit too...but odd in Houston heat. Scrunching down low or exaggerating upright is about same. I even tried fabricating a spoiler for helmet with no change. I have accepted fact that it is a tradeoff....accept wind on torso and bugs in teeth and flying road debris...OR at 70+ mph expect your eyes to get shaken. I now realize that is one of the advantages of full fairing baggers....Deuce stays anyway.&nbsp\\; John

 

The wind coming from under the shield is causing the buffeting. I tried the clear&nbsp\\;lower wind deflectors made by RIFLE. Problem solved. They're not the prettiest things, but neither is a windshield on a nightrain.

 

Memphis shades also makes lowers I've had them on two bikes with shields and they worked.
