I took my new r18b out for it's maiden ride last Sunday (never test rode it because I bought it in February).
I love everything about my new ride except for one thing I'm hoping this forum can help me with.
I live in South Dakota where the interstate speed limit is 80mph.
So I took the bike to 80mph.
I haven't had wind buffeting since my 97 Triumph Trophy(see photo because it is a beautiful bike)!
I've ridden Harley baggers for 10 years and never had buffeting, so I forgot that it was even a thing.
I don't want to look through a windshield. I'm only 5'7".
Is there a shorter windshield and would that help?
Or is there a solution, or do I just deal with it?
I did add winglets before riding it, but the buffeting is definitely coming from over the top of the screen and only at higher speed.
Thanks,
Daniel
