Welcome  :welcome_005: to the site from Toledo, Ohio.  There are a lot of factor's that contribute to wind buffeting.  How tall are you?  How tall is your windshield?  Do you ride with or without a helmet?  The more info you give us, the more response's you are likely to generate.   ::)

Thanks LovemyCVOgirl, I am 5'7" currently have the 8" LRS on, riding a sundowner saddle, I ride with a 3/4 helment and ride in a mostly sitting straight up.  I have already added wind deflectors to the batwing and the one between the forks.  Now I am thinking about trying a Freedom shield, they have awesome reviews. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks LovemyCVOgirl, I am 5'7" currently have the 8" LRS on, riding a sundowner saddle, I ride with a 3/4 helment and ride in a mostly sitting straight up.  I have already added wind deflectors to the batwing and the one between the forks.  Now I am thinking about trying a Freedom shield, they have awesome reviews. Any thoughts would be appreciated.


You would benefit from the Freedom Shield.  I am 5' 6"  and I run with a 9" shield.  Yes, this does put me in a position of looking through the shield but I have no choice due to the hardware in my neck from an earlier accident.  You could go a few inches shorter and still look over the shield.  The great part about the FS is the way it kicks the air up and over your head.  They have just the right curve on them that I KNOW you would eliminate your wind buffeting. They also look like a "piece of art" with their thickness and the polished edges.  And the best part, there is no visual distortion!  You've got nothing to lose.., try one out and like Freedom Shield Steve says, "If you don't like it, send it back for a full refund."

When I had a SG, I installed a higher wind shield to help. Welcome to the Forum from Indy!
