I'm riding a Suzuki C50T and really love the bike.  But on rides of a few hours at highway speeds, I'm arriving at my destination more fatigued than I think I should be because of the constant beating (not really that bad but I can't think of a better descriptive word) that my head takes from the wind.  The stock windshield is set at it's lowest position which allows me to comfortably see over it when I'm sitting completely upright (I'm 5'8" tall).  If I raise the windshield I will lose that unimpaired sightline, but if I do raise it, what impact will that have on the airflow around my head and body?  Suzuki does not make windshield lowers for that bike, although the new C90T's and C109T's do have stock lowers included with their winshield package.  Aftermarket lowers that would fit my bike are butt-ugly so I haven't bought them, but do they work for this problem anyway?  Does anybody know of any data published pertaining to this issue and/or how to help me resolve it?  Thx.  Cheers.  Herb.  

I am having the same problem on my Victory Kingpin and I am going to raise the very small windshield and see if it helps. I will let you know soon, in a couple of days.  

Yep can be a pain Herba, mine nearly drove me up the wall I'm 5'8" also drilled a bit more out of the holes so the screen could sit fraction lower and tilted the screen as far in as is possible even 1/8 of an inch makes a huge diff...Now you may not of tried to do that so go and loosen the mountings and tilt your screen into the bike then go for a ride,,

The other factor is wind currents at times of the year our wind comes from different Quarters even that can play havoc, make sure the lip of your screen is real clean so the wind slips easily over the top, some helmets can make a difference also try everything I have at least got mine to work, and it is good....  

I had the same problem with a Kawi 800 Drifter, tried a couple of windshields on it, no change.

I started feeling around, and on my bike, at the light the wind was comming almost straight up. I ended up with a first aid kit in a large fanny pack on the bike. It got rid of the buffeting, and it was safer.

The quick test would be, take a jacket, stuff it between the shield, and the handlebars. Bungee cord it in place and go for a ride. You may be pleasantly surprised.  

Thanks to those who offered suggestions.  There is very little room to move the windshield, only about 1 1/2 inches up from the lowest setting, which is where my windshield was set.  Didn't seem to be able to tilt it at all.  Raised it as far as it would go and it made a world of difference.  Now there is only an awareness of airflow along the top of my helmet, but the buffeting is gone.  No more discomfort and excess fatigue. Took my trip across the prairies (1200 miles each way, but total 2700 miles plus)...no problem.   If you're experiencing this problem, try it.  Hopefully, it should work for you too.  Thx again.  Cheers.  Herb.  

the perfect shield should go up to your nose, that way you can see over it and still deflect the wind over your head. i personaly like the wind in my face feel. i have a vegas with a memphis shades pop top shield that just keeps the wind off my shoulders and chest. it can be raised and angled to deflect it over my head for longer trips.
