My 11 I had the KW flare. Hard lowers and the tank scoops. Smoked at 70. My 16 RGS I have to 14" Sport flare and hard lowers. I can smoke just fine at 70. If I close my top vent. I feel some buffeting. I only close that in the rain. I'm 5'11". My hammock sits lower than my solo seat. No real difference other than my line of sight.
I believe the lowers are the ticket. But if you're not into having lowers o . Not sure what ya can do.

I had horrible buffeting with the stock tiny windshield (I wear a FF helmet and usually have the shield open). I tried the $40 deflectors and didn't notice much difference. After some research, I thought the vacuum behind the small shield might be the culprit. Also, on my CBR1000RR my head is well above the screen and smooth at all speeds.
So, I simply removed the windshield on the Road Glide. Rides much smoother and much cheaper than buying another windshield. I might buy the tallest look through for long trips though.
