1. 5'6"
2. 29"
3. Currently running CB Euro 14"
4. Stock seat
5. HoggChopps lowers (bought specifically to try to reduce turbulence)
6. No tourpack
7. Slight buffetting now (vibration?). Much less than with other shields (stock, stock trimmed, HD 6").Noticable at 60+mph with headwind but is bearable. I never carry a passenger.
8. This has been the most aggravating issue I have had with this bike and was so bad with the stock shield that it literally rattled my teeth, blurred my vision and got physically painful. There is a 'quiet pocket' with these fairings but unfortunately it is too far forward to be of any use. Try leaning toward the shield some time at speed and you'll see what I mean - beautiful, still air.

 

BCguy,
You are dead on with what I am experiencing. Hope you will find a combination on this thread that may help you. With your height, you may be able to get rid of this with the right shield. Good luck

I get buffeting at or around 70mph. Other than that its great. No changes for me on a windy day. No changes two up either.

8. Add any other comments that you may want to express about solutions and what helped Love the bike. I do not wear a DOT helmet. I wear glasses and its fine. Also make a huge differnce I wear ear plugs it makes everything more enjoyable.

The CB windshield allows me to look over the shield and keeps the turbulent air about 3-4" about my helmet.

7. Do you have a buffeting problem now? Describe in full of how bad? I.E. at what speed? one or/and two up riding? only on windy day? I normally wear a 1/2 helmet. Just did 570 miles Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, riding in high winds, I had a very sore neck and shoulders at the end of the day from fighting the buffeting. Sunday, no winds to speak of and virtually no buffeting. I do get some air hitting the top of my helmet, but unless we're doing 75mph into a 30mph wind (like Saturday) I normally don't have a problem.

8. Add any other comments that you may want to express about solutions and what helped. For me, the stock size clearview seems like it will be the right change in windshield as the recurve will probably throw all the air over the top. The adjustable back rest made me sit up straighter by about an inch (better posture and much more comfortable).

7. Do you have a buffeting problem now? Describe in full of how bad? I.E. at what speed? one or/and two up riding? only on windy day? With this +2 CV windshield, all buffeting is gone, absolutely dead quiet. Problem for me is the recurve is right in my line of sight (with this size, I'm barely looking over the shield) and is very disorientating. I'm only using this one for COLD weather commuting in the early spring or very late fall.

Since installing the Mustang seat, the wind hits my helmet which is a problem when wearing my half helmet. Not a problem with my Nolan. The mustang seat raised my up. The stock seat worked well with the CV. I am now looking at something else. Possibly a Vstream. I would rate the buffeting as moderate.

8. Add any other comments that you may want to express about solutions and what helped.

I thought I had the perfect windshield until I changed the seat. I'm very happy with the CV but now I'm hearing there may be a better choice. I'm waiting for some reviews to roll in.

Hope this helps.

These are great bikes so it's too bad that this issue detracts from our riding pleasure. I think I've got it about as good as it's going to get with the setup I have now.

If moco redesigns the RG for 2010 like it seems they will, I can only hope they do a rework of the fairing to eliminate this problem. Then it really will be the perfect Harley.
