a taller windshield may help buffeting but it also changes how it will handle in cross winds, anything fork mounted affects handling, its like a big sail pushing and pulling on the forks, i found most of the buffeting on mine came up from the sides of the tank so i put fork deflectors on to stop it, buffeting is tricky if you move your hand around you can usually find where its coming from

Finally! Someone who does the work. Thank you so much. I'm 5 8 too, so this helps tremendously.

Excellent comparison! Thanks for trying this for all of us.

Dude, thank you for making this video. Seriously, for how customizable Harleys are, there aren’t many in depth youtube channels for info on mods. Kinda surprises me as a new rider.

This is great information. Very much appreciate how you did the comparison. Extremely helpful

This is exactly what I was looking for. 15" works, and still looks good on the bike. I think any higher and it would just not look right. Great video. Thank you!

Sweet video!!! Kinda wish you did this video 6 months ago. There wasn't anything helpful besides Being Here Now, with Percy. Your vid was actually more helpful than the talk I had at the MS booth at Born Free Festival. Nice one!!

Thanks! Looks great too!

Ooh dude I love getting notifications when you have made a new video 👏🏻👏🏻

This video was beyond helpful. Thank you very much!

I put some fork mounted wind deflectors on my road king. Made a noticeable difference in the air pocket behind the windshield. Got rid of the headshake and most wind noise. My windshield is a clockwerx with a flare that is just under my chin if I sit up straight. I can slouch and get behind it if I want. It strikes me as kind of funny, trying to control wind on a motorcycle.... Too much freedom in all that wind:) It's very windy where I live.

Excellent comparison on the different windshield sizes. It’s sometimes tricky to determine the right size. Every bikes layout and every persons height is different 🙂🏍️👍

Excellent breakdown!! Subscribed

Very informative. Thanks👍👍

Very informative thanks

Very good video!!

Thanks a lot. Very useful.

Super comparatif merci beaucoup ! 🤙🏼👌🏼✌🏼

Super helpful bro. Thank you

Man i just bought the 15 inch for my street bob and was almost regretting it. I think i made the right decision based off your video. Great video and very informative!

I rock the 13” on my Scout Bobber with moto bars that are basically 11” rise due to 1” mount and 10” bar riser. 13” was the perfect size for me at 5’9”. Love the fairing so much.

Nice video man, im liking the 13 inch alot! Seems like the good middle ground of looks and wind protection. Im 6 ft tall so its probably the best option for me.

I've been using the Dougz mini Spartan fairing for the last 4 years on my fatbob. It worked great, i had no buffeting whatsoever, I'm 5'8 as well. Last week i decided i wanted a change, i went for the road warrior as it really looks the part, but as soon as i got on the motorway and got up to 80-90 mph my head was being battered all over the place, it was even making my view of the road go blurred, that's how bad the buffeting was. To say i was disappointed is an understatement. On your bike the bigger screen looks great as you've got T- bars fitted and all the proportions are bang on. On mine i have the stock bars and I'm not sure if the bigger screen will suit it or not, doing for different bars is another expense i don't need, but thanks for doing this video as its now given me a few things to think about👍👍. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

One of the best reviews on windshield selection. Wondering if the 17" would fit my Dyna I'm 5' 10". Thanks...

I went all the way to 17” on my Dyna and I still had terrible helmet shake. Turns out it was designed for those 6ft and under. Nice breakdown man, very informative video and could save some people some money getting the right one the first time.

I have memphis shades batwing on 1200 custom sportster, and in my opinion they dont make them tall enough. It came with bike but I want a full cop like windshield.

Awesome review! Trying to determine best Color and Size for my Fatboy. I am 6'1", use to have a 13", but considering Black Smoke or Solar at 15", 17" or 19". Just concerned that Black Smoke is too dark, I rarely do night riding, but do ride all year long here in South West Texas.

hey! great video 🙏🏼 really helped me decided what windshield to get ! quick question, what’s that sling bag you where ferrying ? 👌🏼 hope you could answer, thanks !

The point is that the end of the windshield must match the level of the eyesight and then the buffeting would be minimized. Right? Anyway, how about the hand guard? Is it effective depending on the wind and cold air from your hands?

Nice bike!

I have the Memphis Shades Gauntlet and have good luck with buffeting, a little bit of a different look to it though.

I'm ordering the 15" up from the 11" and am 5"11, we'll see how much I bobblehead if at all. Good video bubba.

I’m 5’9” but if I get a 11” windshield is that gonna be good for long distance on highway than quarter fairing

Timely video. At about 6 feet tall, I run a 11 inch vented on my FXDLS. Just ordered a vented 15, interested to see how it works.

How's the visibility through the tint at night?

I’m 5’9. What would you recommend?

What pipes do you have on your bike? Thanks for the shade review. I have 15” on my 48. I was thinking about cutting it down 2”, but after this review I will keep it as is.👍🏻

(*Helpful video, thank you!) I have the vented 13inch windshield, after finding online that it reduced buffeting. At highway speeds, 50mph+ I start to get the buffeting on the top of my helmet and that then starts shaking it around as I go faster. I'm also 6ft2, and have a Ricks rear fender + low profile seat which puts me a few inches down in seat hight compared to stock and your saddleman. I'm probably going to go for the 15 inch before next season in the hopes that it will stop the buffeting. Quick question, what got you picking risers over t bars? I'm looking to either get Risers or T bars but I'm not sure which is better.

Hi All, try using moonsmc headlight block and mount it below the triple3 to make the fairing sit lower. Im 5.6 and it almost eliminate the road warrior unsolved mysteries wind buffeting.

Thanks, man. That was very informative. I'm just curious, the 15 inch you reviewed, was it vented? I'm on the thinking of getting the 15 inch vented. You think that's gonna get rid of the buffeting? Or is the non vented 15 in the way to go?

The angle of attack of the screen makes a big difference too iv been trying find one that has it leans back just a bit more then what you have

thanks man

They have vented windshields as well, I’m 6.3 and all of them give me buffering. A tech suggested to me to install a spacer where windshield mounts. Will try.

It would be nice to see these and the vented windshields back to back

I’m 5’10” and got the 15” and the buffeting was extreme, I couldn’t even ride with it. Went down to 13”‘ and it was much better than 15”. It’s counter intuitive that the taller caused more buffering… for me anyway.

I got to ask, what pipes and seat do you have on that? I have a 23 FXLRS and thats the look I want. Looks like a saddlemen stepup. But I love those 2-1 black pipes

I got the RW fairing on my Iron1200 with a 17" windsheild, I think. Best investment ever. I rarely ever feel the wind unless it's really windy out or from crosswinds.

Hello. Can you give me some advice pls. I have a honda rebel 1100 2022. I am 5 ft 6 inch. I am using OEM seat. I am looking at memphis shades el paso. I am looking for best noise/wind reduction on body & helmet. I have never had a windshield before. So no experience reference point. I am willing to get the solar (least tinted) if because of my height it will be above my eye level, i mean i am willing to look through the windshield when riding (unless thats not a good idea) Thnks

Great video and voice! What height is your handlebar setup?

Great comparison! It's amazing what a few extra inches will do, amiright? #ThatsWhatSheSaid I will say, however, that going too tall can be problematic - I had more issues with a windshield that was way too tall for me on my Vulcan 800 before I bobbed it - going back to a shorter one helped. Does Memphis Shades make a Spoiler version for your bike? If so, you could get a shorter shield and the same - or better - wind protection.

Looks like you started in Rockville MD

Most people don't consider the vented versions. It makes a difference in buffeting!

Get the slotted or vented windshield and see if that helps. It should. I have a fly dart screen and there is no buffeting as air is allowed under the screen.

I wonder how the vented windshields effect wind IN PRACTICE vs in theory

I've tried everything and I still get buffeting. Had to ditch the T-sport faring completely. Debating getting the ST fairing from advan black.

What size risers are on your bike? Looks awesome

What is the brand of the exhaust pipe ?

Does vented or not vented work better?

i got a 95 fxd and i am 5' 9" looks like the 15" would be perfect for me

Hi man how is the size of the risers?????

Check your handle bar! The right side is to much down!

A lot of the the "buffetting" comes from under the fairing believe it or not. Also, since these fairings have no flair at the top it's not kicking the wind up and over like a Klockwerks does

Hey bro just noticed you're from the DMV area that's whats up , i also have a low rider s

Why haven't you tried the slotted windshield from Memphis shades?

I got an altered industries extension for my quarter fairing and I hated it. It put the wind up higher, but it created this weird resonance vibration thing where it hit just at the correct angle and speed to where it cost my head to vibrate like a dildo. I would rather have my entire head be evenly pushed back instead of just that part

Get a 15 or a 17 and then no worries about wind issues.

Shocker. The taller windshield blocks more wind.

Just tryed 17” and it’s worst than wear nothing

no way me go over 50 p mpg hehehhe

Hamburger Huh ?
