Hey Y'all.....I ride a 2006 1100 Shadow Spirit I just bought in January. I got the Memphis shades winshield the day I bought it, but I have a wind problem I don't understand.....Wind is coming straight down the side of the tank then straight UP into my chest and blasting UP my nose and face. I had 2 Harleys with windshields and countless other bikes over the years but I have never had a wind problem like this before. It's so bad sometimes that I can't enjoy riding at all. Does anybody know what's going on and what the solution is?
Thanks in advance! Rev Muddy

Likely wind off your knees coming up your torso.
Quick test the next time you are out:
Move your feet back to the passenger rear sets if you can or just extend your leg back. If you notice the effect drop significantly, you've got your culprit.

You're probably going to need lowers on that windshield.

That's what I was thinking too.
 
I had an 1100 Aero with a memphis shield. I purchased lowers and the wind dissapeared.
