Wind buffeting coming from below
#81
Installed the fork baffle and nothing changed
Wind still comes from the above the lowers and below the fairing
One thing that does help is when I wear a doo rag under my helmet
It keeps the helmet from sliding back on my head
I may try the fork deflectors next
NO, I am NOT buying a Wing
We have all changed something on our Harley's
For those that have changed exhaust
For those that have changed the mapping
For those that have changed the Air Cleaner
You changed what the MOCO couldn't do for you
This is just US fine tuning a great motorcycle to meet our needs

Way back when............
Harley did design a bike in the wind tunnel. Pretty much zero buffeting. Smooth air flow. The FXRT/FXRD
They didn't sell well because they "Didn't look right". Those of us who had them would jump all over it if they built it again, mecanicaly updated that is.

Problem Solved
I now have the combination that eliminates the buffeting to as much as 95%. I have the fork baffle, adjustable fairing deflectors and most importantly, a Cee Bailey's SSC 10" shield. The Cee Bailey's is really what ended up fixing it. I had a 8" Clearview with recurve but the buffeting was still there. I can say now that it is gone! Whew! I just tried a taller 12" Cee Bailey's SSC which was actually quieter with less wind in my face but it was lots hotter and caused pressure on the back of my helmet. The current setup seems to be the ticket. I've already ordered a set of hard lowers which I really don't need now but I think they'll be nice once the cold weather actually gets here (its 90F today).
I hope this helps somebody else with the same problem.

I have an 06 Road King FLHRI and had the same problem as some mentioned here with respect to the deflector not helping much on a Road King. However, back in December I put on a Wide Open Customs detachable fairing and it completely went away at that point. So the combination of the fairing and the deflector is great.
