As I've recently ventured out onto I-40 and some other larger highways in the area I've noticed a bit of what I'd call helmet vibration that shows up around 60 - 65 mph. I supposed this is helmet buffeting but it's more like a fine vibration - just enough to feel it and notice it when you are reading road signs, etc. Hope that makes sense.
I have a 19 inch Memphis Shades Fats windshield. No lowers - the signature pic was made with lowers but I had to take them off to make the light bar turn signals work.
I'm not sure if the air causing this is coming over the windshield or from underneath the windshield. I don't think I noticed this as much with the lowers but I not really sure about it.
I also wear a Nolan N102 helmet that has the "vision protector" sun shade mounted. I don't think this is causing any effect as I seem to still get the buffeting with the shade up or down.
I'm wondering if a product like the Laminar Lip http://www.laminarlip.com/cruisers.php or Baker Built Air Wings http://www.bakerbuilt.com/cruiser_bikes.htm would have a positive effect.
Just kinda looking for opinions, advice, experience with these devices, etc. As I said - this is only an issue at interstate speed.
