    103,000 miles with a -1 tinted sheild and can not figure out what buffeting anyone is talking about. I wear a full face helmet and have clean air all the time.

    Your height, inseam, and seat height will all affect what hits you. I'm 6' with 31" inseam and a Mustang deluxe. I found the pocket of air with a vent and the Honda Tall mostly tolerable with a full face, there was some buffeting. It was less noticeable with a half helmet. My favorite combo so far is the half helmet and the 11 inch shield that apparently shall not be named.

    I didn't say for sure that they were no longer a sponsor. What I said was that their advertising banner as well as some others were no longer on the Homepage, so it appeared to me that maybe those who are missing were no longer board sponsors.

    Is this board sophisticated enough to target a word / brand name and ---- throughout the forum, or does it have to be done manually? Man, if it is done manually, what a helluva job that would be.
    Former Ride:
    2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
    Latest Addition:
    2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode

    7,900 as of 10/6

    I have no idea. I know that I'M not sophisticated enough to understand how all of this internet stuff works. I just hammer away at the keyboard and somehow my thoughts are projected onto the screen.

    +1 on the -1!
    I lowered my stock shield by 1.5" and it's clean air now. Great for warm weather.
