What I do not like about my SG, buffeting! Help! Riding without windscreen?
Hi Guys,
I do love my 2007 SG, but I really get tired of the buffeting and the punches on my helmet which make mee feel like I am in a beatbox. It is a pitty that I need to wear earplugs for not getting crazy. I wonder why Harley put a stereo in the SG models if you can't hear anything if driving 50+ miles per hour. When standing on my footboards and feeling the constant pressure and noise of the wind I think this is even better than the turbulence with the batwing.
I am 6'5" long and replaced my stock seat for a Danny Gray Butt crack which I do like a lot. It sets me back and lowers me a lot. Unfortunately this was not the solution to get rid of the wind buffeting (which is coming from above. I don't mind the wind/buffeting on my body this is part of the job).
I still have the standard windscreen, I know this is not perfect. I see a lot of alternative windscreens and wind deflectors but I have my doubts if this will be the solution for me. Is there anyone who has the same length and has a solution which does not affect the looks? Please let me know I am really interested, it would bring me more fun riding my lovely bike.

Try a BaggerShield! At your height I would suggest the 7.5" to 11.5" option. For most of your driving needs the 7.5" tinted low height will work just fine. When you are highway driving (touring) or during inclement your can adjust it to the 11.5" height. Check out our website www.baggershield.com and click on the demo video.

The factory windscreen looks great, but that is about it.
I went with a Clearview (9.5" with recurve) and that made all the difference in the world.

There are countless aftermarket solutions for nice looking and functional shields.

Anyone tried to ride without the windshield? Maybe it will give the effect of none?? I will give this a try this week.
Searched for buffeting and sg on the forum. Man I read a lot of problems. Even guys who tried over 10 shields.
I am afraid this problem can't be solved with keeping the looks of the SG.
Rollamo I think my 2002 Sportster was more comfortable, no buffeting and constant wind pressure.
