Hi i have a 19 inch baggershield on my deluxe and my passenger is getting blasted with wind.
What windshield will work to keep keep the passenger protected from the wind.

Anything bigger than that is called a "sail". I have seem some huge Gold Wing windshields, but they look stupid. Is your passenger used to riding motorcycles? I'm not trying to be a SA, but the shield you have should do the trick. Riders have a better ride than passengers on almost all bikes.

Adding air wings under the mirrors may help.

Yes that's true.

@ Big Red: Is your passenger of average height or very tall? And as someone else suggested in another thread on wind buffeting, a full face helmet if they're not already wearing one.

Don't quite understand why she is not happy with the Baggershield...My Daughter-in-law is 5'6" and has ridden with me a few times and has no wind issues at all and uses a 3/4 open face helmet....I have the same windshield and love the thing...Maybe try the Madstad??

And she wears a full fac helmet. We have owned a triumph Rocket III, an FJR 1300,a Yamaha Roadliner,A Valkyre,a 1200 Sportster,a victory Hardball and now the F6B. we have done long distance trips with all of the motorcycles and this is the only one that she aiways
complains about the wind beating her up.

Well I took your advice and ordered the Baker Air Wings. It took about 5 mins. to install. We went for a ride today about 100 miles into the mountains.Up to 4300 feet and some freeways at 70 mph.My wife wants to thank all of you who reccomended the air wings. She loves them,it drastically reduced the wind on her shoulders and head that was bothering her. The wife is happy,life is good! Thank you all for the help.
