i find that when i go past 120 kms the wind on my head gets almost unbarrable, as the riding possition is high and i am tall i find it hard to tuck down. i am not liking cruising on the uly since my neck is taking a beeting. i only really saw how bad it was when i took my buddies electra glide for a spin. does anybody have any suggestions. | ||

Invest in a good helmet.... I used to ride with an HJC, however switched to an arai and it cut the wind by half, also maybe you could get one of those 4 inch screens, and btw man Have a good x-mas, we're doing a christmas eve ride tm morning down in vic maybe out to JR, email me if you want to come out and play  | ||

yea i am kinda leanin that way. i am lookin at a dyna but i also realy like the roadglides. but i need to solve this problem because it sure makes riding uncomfortable. ive got a bell helmet that i bought at the time of the uly purchase but i was really wanting to get the shoei badge but didnt want to pay the $700 price tag. | ||

Try a Rumble strip: http://www.rumble-strips.com/ worked great for me and my passenger and its only $15 to try. Put it place with tape first to make sure it works and to verify the correct position. I get my helmets from http://www.helmetshop.com/ and http://www.brocktoncycle.com/ I don't remember which one I last ordered from, but I got a RF1000 Shoei with replica graphics for about $350. Both have great customer service. (Message edited by josh_ on December 23, 2005) | ||

I know where you can get some nice basic arai's for around the 400 mark, i know what u mean thguh about the wind above 140 for me it's sweet, keeps me from those speeding tickets! | ||

I recently got a Scorpion helmet. It's was a bit shy of the $400 mark, but it sure seems to cut the air better than the Buell helmet (AGV?) I prev had. DAve | ||

i was thinking that the low seat might also be a solution. what is the price on the buell low seat they dont post the price on the web page. does anybody have it already. | ||

Hey Clayman, Remember, you're taking advice on buffet reduction from a guy who goes by windaddiction. I'm just sayin'. Paul | ||

hey now! the name comes from my love of windurfing, and I know a lot about wind, and it's always better when there is no turbulance! | ||

I think the seat goes for around $210.00. Daves gives Badweb members 10% off. I'd talk to him if you seriously want a low seat | ||

Windaddiction, Do you and John F Kerrey race on the water? I voted for him. | ||

*bump* i am experiencing the same buffeting problems on my uly. have been looking online for reviews of these "rumble-strips" not finding much. seems inconcievable that one of these little stick on deals could do that much. i put a couple layers of weather stripping on my helmet and ran a few exits down the freeway, exited, removed the weatherstripping and rode back. i must say, noticable difference. i'm not convinced yet, but sold enough to risk the 15 bucks. will let you know how it works out | ||

I have a tall (26") windshield from Parabellum, and the buffeting I get is wind from the lower portion under the windshield coming along the airbox cover. I found this to stop if I covered the path of the wind with my hand, or placed my arm across my chest. I am going to add a small set of fork mounted clear wind deflectors from Memphis Shades to cure the problem. |
