I’m looking for information from people who have the Freedom Shield on their Spyder.
I have a 2023 RTL and when riding with my Wife on the back, she experiences a lot of helmet buffeting, giving her a sore neck above 55 mph. We usually try to stay slower when we can, but this isn't always practical when we're riding with a group of people or need to take the Expressway. She says the wind seems to be coming from around my helmet causing her the issue. I have found that if I sit very erect with the windshield all the way up, it reduces the buffeting some, but it is still present.
I see the Freedom Shield can be ordered wider and has the reverse curve at the top.
Does anyone have a Freedom Shield on their Spyder and what's your opinion of it? Has anyone else had this issue? Will the Freedom Shield eliminate this? I don't have any wind issues myself, it's for my Wife and I'm trying to make her as comfortable as possible so she can enjoy riding as much as I do.
