Default lower windshield more buffeting?

My last bike was a electralglide which I ran a 8" windshield that gave me fresh air but minimal buffeting from the wind. I now have a roadking with a std windshield which is too tall in the summer when it gets warm. my question is anyone running the 4" lower 15" windshield on thier roadking and how much buffeting do you have? does the wind hit you in the face or does it roll over top of head still? I tried a buddys wind deflector off a SE model and it is too small for me the wind slams me in the face and chest. does anyone have a complete 15" they want to sell?

I trimed off 2 1/2" off my Stock shield and it's perfect. Check out the DIY section and look to see how to cut down your own windshield. Very easy to do.....

sit on bike with your pass. if you have one & mark wind shield just below your line of sight & cut it to that height & you will see clearly with no head buffeting BUTCH
