Hold your hand across your chest and chase the wind to where the buffeting is coming from. If it's over the tank you can use a deflector (triple tree or DK wings) to move that flow. If it's from around the tank by your knees you'll need fork fangs.

The Harley Windsplitter is nice if you are ~5'9 or shorter as it's a 16" shield. I'm 6'0 with 33" inseam and the distance from headlight to nose for me is 19.5" so I get a lot of wind buffeting above 50mph with that shield. I went to an 18" Freedom Shield which has a curve at the top so it's supposed to behave like a 19" or 20" straight shield. It's far better than the HD WS and pretty smooth up to about 65mph then I get some buffeting above 70mph. Most of us have a slew of windshields we've gone through to find the right fit.

Thanks

Thanks bud. I am about 5'10" with 29 inseam .. so probably Harley windsplitter may not work for me. Since its the most expensive of the lot - I will proceed from least to most expensive ones - atleast when I am trying out the right shield for me. From your points seems like 18" would be right one for me, probably thats where I will start from ( after trying out fork fangs). Fortunately for me - seller was a very nice guys and he did include those in the sale - with the bike.
