#1023154 OrygunZ (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 978 Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Purchased a Reckless Fairing and an 8” Fastaire Aero shield for my 06 Midnight. The top of the shield is approx nose height. I have the stock running lights and Yamaha big bar. At speeds over 55-60, I begin to get quite a bit of buffeting around my head which causes my glasses to buffet. If I move my head closer to the shield, it goes away. Hard to ride like that. I have moved the Fairing up and down. I have tilted it forward and back. Any one else experience this? Would lowers help?   Logged     Orygun Z   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023158 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   OrygunZ wrote: Purchased a Reckless Fairing and an 8” Fastaire Aero shield for my 06 Midnight.

The airflow is coming from under the fairing near your knees. I made a set from Curt's example, solved the problem. You can buy aftermarket or adapt HD lowers.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023182 OrygunZ (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 978 Re:Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thought about that. May try to make a set.   Logged     Orygun Z   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023187 Homerk (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 191 Re:Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Longrideshields.com   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023260 RoadstarTerry (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 363 Re:Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I found about 75% improvement when I installed a longrideshield windshield with the recurve. I then noticed with a improvement with updraft buffeting with a deflector below the headlight that was customized by one of the forum members. The rest is eliminated with wings or lowers. But for me the biggest improvement I found was the windshield and they really aren't that expensive.

Taller shield helps as well.   Logged     www.edseatsusa.com mike@edseats.ca Phone: (419) 654-6235   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023271 OrygunZ (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 978 Re:Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   The Aero shield is a recurve unit. The top is on the same level as my nose so I can see over it. I made some lowers using Lexan and stainless steel. Gonna test ride tomorrow after the roads dry from today’s rain.   Logged     Orygun Z   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023272 OrygunZ (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 978 Re:Reckless Fairing Buffiting 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   By any chance, do you have a pic of the deflector under the headlight?   Logged     Orygun Z   The administrator has disabled public write access.
