I had the same problem and people wouldnt believe me when I said it was bad. They said Im not used to the wind in my face......Hello I have ridden without windshields for 35 years. I finally got a Klockwerks 8.5 and it is not perfect but made the ride acceptable. I can scoot around town no problem, before I couldnt got 20 mph without my head feeling like it was in a blender. Dont really notice any buffeting till around 80 mph

Didn't care for stock windshield went with klock werks 6.5 helped with glasses and helmet issues. Wind still blows around tank and up chest. There are several products to help this. I have gotten used to it. It also depends on wind direction while you ride. Bottom line is IMO batwing is better then direct wind on long rides.

Let me answer your question this way: It's the was it is, but you don't need to live with it.
No manufacturer can market a bike that will meet all one's needs, but they CAN manufacture a bike that will meet many of those needs, so...
What you need to do first is decide on the style you like and the platform you like.
Once that is complete, RIDE the BIKE! The bike will tell you what it needs.
Next, the real fun begins. You get to make it your own!
Many of us have signature lines which describe how our Tourer's spoke to US.
With regard to your question about windshields, my choice was Fast Aire's "Aero" windshield. I chose the 8-inch version in dark gray and I LOVE it.

Yep on the stock w/s being really cool but ineffective!! I went with the slightly taller (6") I think, Kuryakyn and it helps alot. Haven't tried fork baffles yet but may do that as well. I do like the ride as it is now tho, and I rode a RKC before this bike.
Good luck in your choices, ride safe...
