Man, I am 6 ft tall and with stock set up have no problem about the amount of wind blast I get (with the exception of what comes underneath and the wing type deflectors will solve that), I haven't had a FLH type bike out handle me, in fact even the guys that ride the softtails and dynas can't keep up with me in the twisties...I think that may be the skill level vs capability. The stock seat breaks in and isn't too bad...although there are better alternatives. But, then again I have never found a stock seat to do me good or as good as this one. Usually, that is the first thing to go.

I like the style of the FLHX and would have absolutely not problem riding this bike coast to coast as is.

 

Perhaps, just perhaps, if you have a visor on your helmet and if you do take it off.

 

You can add anything you want to a Harley, A street glide is just really a stripped down dresser so a different windshield will get rid of the buffering . I cannot believe all the bitchin I read about there issues well if you like cars drive them. we are bikers here and love the wind. Don't mean to be rude but A harley is one of my best experiences.
