Four places the wind buffwting comes from; Over the windshield, past the fairing which the wings take care of, between the forks and follows up the gas tank and into your face- fork baffle $25.00 at Hd solves that, AND airflow past the outside of the forks and travels up your legs. Thats the one you are probably dealing with. There is an aftermarket company makes fork deflectors for the SG, but for me, they look gawd awful and I just couldn't add anymore that takes away from the SG look, so I live with it.

 

How tall are you? If you're 5'-8" or less then this is a pretty common complaint and it probably stems from the fact that we're down in the low pressure zone behind the fairing where all the turbulent air is. It makes matters worse if you wear a 3/4 helmet or especially a full face (I wear a full face). Seems like taller people don't share this buffeting complaint, probably because their head is up higher in clean air. I tried a 10" shield and it actually made things worse, probably because it enlarged the low pressure zone which then drew more buffeting air up from under the fairing. I then tried a Klockwerks 6.5 which I love, but I was still getting buffeting. After reading through a bunch of threads here I then tried the fork deflectors and problem solved. I get nothing but smooth air now, the buffeting is completely gone.

Some people have reported success with the fairing deflectors. Reports on the triple tree deflector have been mixed, some say it works and others say it makes no difference at all.

Windshield also affects things, you can't solve it with just a windshield but may need to combine it with one or more of the above fixes. It helps if you can find a place that demos shields, Harley is just starting to do this with their Wind Splitters.

 

This will help the most (you can get them in chrome or black):
I don't have then because they don't make them for bikes with the Auxilary Lights.


I do have the adustable wings on the side of the fairing and they help a lot.
If I open them up at all, I start to get that wind in my chest and face.

I also have the Fairing Lowers and like them a lot, but they are 5 or 6 hundred dollars.

 

+1... I have the identical bike...06 flhx. I have the fairing deflectors on mine, I still get some buffeting but not as bad. I will say I switched to a ultra-low profile helmet from Outlaw helmets, and that has helped a lot also. When I wear my tiny skid lid, It gets even better. I think the lower fork deflectors would be your best bet, I just don't like the way they look. (Personal Taste).

 

He does sell them for Street Glides with the Auxiliary lights, take a look on his site.

I had a pair of Heritage fork mount deflectors. I hacked them up to fit the street glide, made a substantial difference in the amount of chest buffeting. Moved that air coming off the forks and up my legs into chest just outboard of my legs. Since my bike is jet black, think I'll try the black ones, maybe they won't be so obvious.

 

Fairing deflectors will definitely make a bigger difference than the forks from what I've found. Combo of windshield and fairing deflectors is the best I think

 

I had mild issues with buffeting on my 08 EG Ultra. Not bad buffeting, but annoying. I put on a LRS 10" Flat top. It got better.
I put on a pair of HD brand fork deflectors and a fork baffle. Its a night and day difference. At 60 there is hardly any turbulence at all.
Dont see why they HD brand fork deflectors wouldn't fit a Street Glide. They fit mine and I had more stuff in the way.
I did have to bend the top "flap" of the fork mounted deflectors a bit to clear the stock fairing wings, but it didnt seem to effect it negatively.

 

That's true, those are new from the last time I checked him out.

But I also have the Lower Fairings and I just don't see how that's all gonna clear.
I wish there was a way.

 

The "CVO" ones are smaller so will clear the lower fairings, don't think he has one that will work with both lowers and aux. lights.

I took off my fork wind fairings. Using the Hog Wings I got about the same reduction in buffeting.

Good Luck
