After trying a half dozen claimed "windshields to cure the buffeting" and deciding it wasn't possible, i discovered the madstad by mark stadnyk in dade city, florida (www.madstad.com)
just search this forum and see the answer is 'unanimous,' madstad, and if you want the icing on the cake..........sancho wings.
Welcome to the forum from Central Jersey, and get ready for a myriad of suggestions. Windshield choice depends on factors such as your height in the saddle and of course, aesthetics. Don't rush into it, you have all winter to investigate. Lots of past threads here, so good luck.
Had the same question but a lot of research in the Forum really helped. Ask yourself what do you want it to accomplish? Do you want to look through or over it? Do you want an acrylic or polycarbonate? Curved, recurved, yada yada yada . How much do you want to spend? That said plenty of positive reviews from many companies here. There is no one best windshield, just the one you find that fits your riding style.
Another vote for Madstad. I'm 6'3, 270lbs and the stock windshield had "issues" that I didn't like. I read all the reviews, and decided that it was cheaper to buy one slightly more expensive shield that was fully adjustable, than it was to experiment until I found one that worked. The fact is, this shield works good and the looks grow on you. It must grow on others too, as I've had several riders ask what kind it was and a few ask if they made them for batwings!!
I've owned numerous aftermarket windshields and for my money a recurve (ie "flip") windshield has always worked the best for me regardless of manufacture.
Both my RGU & SG wear Windvest shields.
regards.
