Ear plugs and try taking your wind screen completely off. Several of us
have left ours off due to the buffeting. Some people have good luck with
higher screens and some hate them.

Earplugs. You'll be amazed at what a difference a 75 cent pair of earplugs
makes.
FWIW

Just got back from a 2K mile trip with the last 600 miles done in a 10 hour
ride with speeds in that area. I have the Rifle tall windshield for long
highway miles and the Kaw tall windshield for everyday use. At 75 using
the Rifle, I can ride with sunglasses and my visor up with out ear plugs
for a while. I get more head buffeting on my Valkyrie Interstate than I to
with the KLR / Rifle. The Kaw tall windshield reduces body blow but it's
strictl visor down and ear-plugs at anything above 20 MPH for me.

Just got back from a full day's ride. I was riding for a while on the
NYS Thruway, where the traffic is 75+ all the time. When I got off I had
to pull off the road and rip my helmet off because of the pain in the
ears from all the noise and constant head buffeting from the wind. The
bike really loves speed, that's not a problem, it's the wind buffeting
that kills you.
Can a higher rise windscreen cure this?? Any other ideas???
Thanks, Rob (Still loves his A-13!!)

I must ask the obvious. What kind/brand/model helmet are you wearing? I am
6'2" and wear a Shoei xsp II,the wind buffet hits me right in the
neck/lower section of the helmet. Perhaps its in the helmet,as i have not
noticed it.
just whippin my 2 in the fray

I put on a 16 inch rifle and the difference is night and day... looks pretty
cool to. Some say the tall screen will hurt off road b/c of all the
shaking... i dont care, i probably go off rode less than 5% of time anyhoo

I think I'll pass. Anyone with a URL name like that is already well beyond
me in the demented department.

If someone had suffered that much facial damage, don't you think his eyes
would have been damaged as well. Look again.
