Curious now that the 14's have been out a while what's the feedback on the new fairing

 

On my new Street Glide the there is still a little Buffeting doto the short wind deflector,
but most of it goes away if you have the front Fairing Vent is open.

 

I test drove them I conclude the new design does work.

 

I've got about 5200 miles on my '14 Limited. The buffeting is GONE. Even in some high crosswinds across New Mexico on a trip last month, no problems. The MOCO did a great job with this one.

Also, I love finally being able to look over a windshield...I'm not that tall...5'9" on a good day...and always had to look THROUGH a standard windshield...now, even with the much shorter windshield, I've got no buffeting issues whatsoever, and neither does my wife on the passenger perch.

 

It works, some say they cant see a difference. I say they are either to tall or the stock windshield is useless like a street glide.

 

I'm 6' tall. With the vent open and stock shield, bufetting was not bad up to 60 or so. 70+ still sucked. Changed to a 7" LRS and life is good. Glasses stay still and the wind on the ears is much less. I can run at 75-80 with the radio at half volume. I could easily see over an 8 or 9" shield no problem but it is not needed. I do also have a backres and sit up very straight.

 

Lots of positive reviews on the 14 fairing so far

 

Im 6-02 and the buffeting is very mild now. It's 100% better than it was on my 2010 Limited. Id bet that the buffeting is pretty much eliminated for shorter riders. I plan on getting me a little taller windshield soon. I have to admit that HD did a great job on the design of the new batwing fairing.

 

Thanks for your reply. I am 5'9" also. What do you mean by "much shorter windshield"? What do you have on your bike now?

 

I think the standard windshield height for the 14 limited is 10 inches. Shorter than the standard windshield on the 10-13's not sure what height came on the older ones. The vent definitely works.
