    I like the wind deflector idea.
    When the drag bars were put on the Harley, the gauges were raised up 6” from stock location.
    After like 45mph. The gauges caused such a buffeting it was actually shaking my head and moving my glasses. So I put on a couple of clamp on’s and lowered the gauges to stock height location.
    It worked. “In the wind” is what it’s all about but, buffeting is annoying as f*** and tiring.

    Just need a little something to deflect the wind over my head. We did 330 or so miles last Friday I got the snot beat out of me over 40mph, whole body hurt the next day like Id been in a brawl. If you asked me ten years ago if Id slap a windscreen on a Diavel id have scoffed at ya but idgaf about ‘looks’ at this point. Im gonna old-lady the shit out of that thing if it makes it comfier. Pilot friend’s wife gave us those little HD road gremlin bells. Ive been sporting it, whatevs. :thumbsup:

    If it's miserable to ride, you ride less. Kinda defeats the whole purpose. I'm all about the comfort features.

    You'll have to excuse me for not putting a windshield on the enduro, though it is an excellent example of the wind buffeting nearly making my hat take flight.

    It'll maintain 45-50 on flat ground. But it's a gutless pig going uphill. Any lengthy uphill requires 3rd or 2nd
