In my case, I tried different windshields and several different lower designs and never did manage to reduce the head buffeting enough to keep the installation. I went back to bare bones. That was back in 1999. I sold that bike in 2007 - foolish move. Last year, I bought another 1999 and it is without windshield. I have kept it that way. Each to his own.

- October 01, 2022, 14:28:14 PMReally sorry, I was responding to Tim's post and hit a wrong button and deleted the entire post! When we moved and updated the forum the "recycle" button was turned off... SO... sorry it was deleted.
Tim is asking about windshields for the 1500 and I directed him to our mod page on windshields and linked to the Rifle windshield still available for Drifters.

and https://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php/board,135.0.html
Qwilki responded with info on lowers helping to eliminate head shake and buffeting.
I added info on our lowers mod and adapting HD chrome lowers to my 1500. Same mod page.
Anyway, as Qwilki says, lowers are really needed. You can make your own from the mod info, or adapt existing lowers.
Also many people use engine guard chaps like those produced by Chilhowee. Chilhowee engine guard chaps.
Again sorry for screwing this up. It shouldn't happen again!
Cheers
