    Default Windshields and Buffeting

    I have a 2022 Tri-Glide I installed a 12 inch Freedom Shields Touring windshield and the DK wings to lesson the buffeting

    which both helped some but I still have a lot of head buffeting over 55 mph more with a helmet less without

    With the 12 inch shield if I sit up straight I am looking over the windshield and if I slouch I look thru it

    Is a taller windshield going to help much more ?

    The money for another taller windshield isnt an issue I just dont want to spend the money if its not going to help.

    Looking thru the windshield doesnt bother me so thats not a issue.

    My previous trike was a 2005 Goldwing which had more or less 0 buffeting

    Sometimes it’s not the height of the windshield it’s the helmet… With my modular helmet at extreme highway speeds I get very little buffering with my three-quarter with a face shield I have some Buffering ‘ But with my half helmet anything over 50 is head shaking..

    Bill-I experienced similar issues as you , and I use a Freedom Shield 10” and DK wings.

    What really helped me a great deal was adding JES Fork Fangs.

    Buffeting pretty much gone.

    I summarized my findings in this thread; https://www.triketalk.com/forum/thre...olFlow-Install

    This was written after 1500 miles, I’m approaching 10k now.

    I’ve had zero issues with added heat due to adding the fangs using both fan systems in my post. I also added a stage 2 kit as well, and my Tri Glide runs even cooler than stock.

    I do agree also with the buffeting varies with helmet selection comments. No helmet, no issue. Full face modular, no issue. Half helmet (Harley) noticeable buffeting , I purchased a “ no mushroom head” low profile DOT helmet for states requiring helmets, noticeable reduction in buffeting.

    I’m very happy with my mods and the ride I now enjoy.

    I have the fork fangs, but i use the baker built airwings. Much better than the other wings i have tried. Plus they are adjustable for air if you wish to direct some on you. Lil pricey, but worth it.

    I have the same issue with a beanie style helmet its useless over about 50 mph

    My Shoei full face isnt near as bad but still a lot more buffeting than I care for.

    I will be installing a pair of fork fangs soon and probably a taller windshield also. I just have to decide on which brands

    if that doesnt solve it then the Tri-Glide

    will be going down the road with a different rider

    I can almost guarantee you that the Fork Fangs and windshield like the Freedom Shield Recurve extra wide will do the trick.

    It most certainly did for me and I had the exact same concerns. I’ve put on nearly 10k this year and 9k since I added the fans, Fork Fangs (windshield I added at 50 Miles) and I really don’t even think about buffeting any longer, because it’s non existent.

    No helmet, nothing, modular full face Harley helmet, nothing, Beanie Helmet, nothing… the only helmet I still have issues with is my older Harley half helmet (mushroom top).

    I look just over the top of my Freedom Shield 10” recurve.

    Don’t give up the ship! You’ll find the right combination!

    I went with a Freedom Shields 10.5" touring width, DK cooling wing deflectors and a DK 1.5" tank lift. That took all of the buffeting away for me no matter what helmet I wear. I regularly ride the interstate at 70+ mph to work with no issues.

    After tolerating various levels of buffeting with several batwing-faired bikes, I found my solution:

    It just works.

    Well I installed the JES wings/fork fangs last night. took it for a ride today little to no head buffeting

    seems as though they moved the wind turbulence down around my knees which isnt an issue

    Wasnt much of a ride only a few miles but it seemed the fans stayed on longer when I shut the trike off

    Will take it for a longer ride tomorrow and see whats up

    Just to repeat what I’ve mentioned previously… To counteract the potential added heat when adding the fork fangs I installed a set of Love Jugs fans, as well as the Harley CoolFlow fan.

    My radiator fans runs less often after shut down with this setup in place.

    I also added a Stage II with torque cam, which noticeably helped the motor run even cooler.

    I see your running in a hot climate. I highly recommend adding some cooling help to counter the fork fangs engine airflow reduction.

    (Adding DK’s cooling deflector wings would be your most cost effective improvement option IMO… I have those as well). Can’t over cool these motors!

    I put the DK wings on about a week ago along with floorboard extensions and the tour pak relocation bracket

    Having to put on all these "necessities" is getting a little annoying though just to make it rideable

    I bought this thing because I wanted the foot room of a V Twin which my old 05 Gold Wing didnt have because of the 6 cylinder engine nor did it have a warranty

    But I am beginning think that a 17 year old GoldWing is still a superior machine compared to this new H.D.

    But I am beginning think that a 17 year old GoldWing is still a superior machine compared to this new H.D.
