FXRS-C w/Sport Windshield

 Posted a new pic next door after repositioning the sport windshield on
my fxrs-c. (Search same subject name as above.)

Does this look more reasonable to prevent/minimize buffeting?

Thanks, and have a round on me.

    How a windshield works with regard to buffeting varies with
every rider.  For me stock small windshields like that create more
buffeting than they cure.  After all, buffeting is the wind curl off
the windshield.  A clean air stream without a windshield doesn't
buffet, it just resists your passage through it.
    The only windshield I ever put on an FXR is a Windvest.  The
"flip" throws the wind, & buffeting effect, over your head.  Worked
for me, but doesn't mean it'd do a thing for you.  There's a lot of
experience & advice here, but some things you just have to experiment
with.

The Windvest works well for me. At first I had the same problem as Steve
Paul Chubba Chuck Yuckies Upchuck (or whatever you go by today). I cured
the buffeting by bringing an allen wrench along for the ride. I adjusted
the windshield until it was straight up and down, rode it, adjusted it
by tilting it back toward me a little rode it some more. Remember to
pull off to the side of the road, don't stop in traffic to adjust. <g> I
repeated this process until I found the "pocket". As Jinks says, it
deflects the wind over your head. When I first put it on the bike I
couldn't stand it, after adjusting it properly it's great, IMHO. FYI
it's on a FXSTD, not an FXR, YMMV.

That makes sense. Thanks. Guess I'll have to practice some patience, and
work on it some more.

I think I'm out of business here now for the rest of the winter. I'd be
really surprised to get any more ride time before March/April. Once it
starts getting wet, cold, and there's overnight, or daytime icy road
conditions, the salt and sand goes down all over the place. I can wash off
the salt, but the sand will take you down in a hurry.
