Wind Buffeting to Back of Head
I have been reading this Forum for several months.It is a great forum,I enjoy reading it, and have learned a few things. I purchased my first Harley,FLHTC,and picked it up on April 15. I tried researching theproblem but could not find an answer. My problem is when I am going down the highway it feels like the wind is hitting the back of my head. I am 6'6" tall.Has anyone else have this problem? Any potential solutions?
Thanks!
Thanks!

RE: Wind Buffeting to Back of Head
I have not tried the fork baffle. I was thinking about a taller windshield or the clearview with the curve, but thought I would see what everyone would recommend. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love the bike, and if I could reduce the slaps to the back of my head that would be abonus.

Littlejohn,
I've only lived in Wisconsin a couple years, but you guys get some serious winds up here. I found you need to go faster than your tail wind. Up here between Winnebago and the big water, that could exceed 60 mph ....suppose you could experiment with a back fairing.

I'm 6'1" and have a SG with 9.5 clearview with recurve and fork baffle. I wear my ball cap backwards (the bill in the back) when
I ride and I don't have any buffeting even at 85mph. Haven't had my hat blow off yet. I can see over the windshield by at least 5
inches.
