That has been my experience, too, that when bucking a headwind, the RG fairing will cut through it better that the Bat-wing.

I went with a Cee-Bailey's 14 to start.  Still some buffeting with the 14, so I swapped for the 15".  Perfect.  Quality and fit were excellent.

Now the only buffeting going on is Jimmy Buffetting through the stereo!

Welcome to the wonderful world of RG's. Most Road Glide owners have a closet full of windshields and are always looking for that miracle to stop the wind and buffetting. Only one cure for this.........................................it's call a Bat Wing Fairing


I did the opposite I purchased about 6 for my Batwing bikes and fixed it first with an 09SERG and then again with a 11 FLTRUSE, I like a little wind when short trippin but I put on 12 inch Klock for long trips I'm 6'2 and it works perfect! Hmmm

You know that thing about the lowers off causing more buffeting, I believe it.  Was afraid to post about it(you're just hearing things... :'()  but when they were off while it was still warm out,  sure seemed to do some thing to make the buffeting worse.

Got my new bike on 12/28 and only had a chance to ride it 112 miles here in Ohio. Salt and snow everywhere. Two complains with the new bike: 1) Set sucks, it is lower and pushes me towards the front. At 6'3" this sucks and I never had this problem with my 09 and 10 FLHTCUSE. 2) Allot of wind, I ordered the 19" tall windshield. I have a complaint into the Mo-Co on the seat, lets see if they do something.

Amen on the seat. I gave up on HD seats long ago.  My HARTCO fits me perfect now. // Former OH boy here -- I feel your pain re the road salt!
