I rode an '07 FLHX Street Glide on a demo ride recently and I wasn't happy with it. The buffeting over the small windshield was really bad at anything over 55mph.[/url]
I noticed the same thing on the Street Glide I test rode. Funny thing is, it went away if I rode without a helmet, or even with anything but a full coverage helmet. The buffeting seems to be coming from the wind hitting the chin part of the helmet, I found the same to be the case on my V Strom.
I'm not trying to start a helmet debate here, just pointing out what I noticed.
Seems anytime I ride behind a windshield with a full coverage helmet, I get wind buffeting.

Ever notice that the person

is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.
