Wind issue

Jesus Freak · 11-30-2011, 10:27 PM

I have an annoying wind coming up into my ear from under the gas tank. I see some on this site with over sized lowers. Does this help with my issue?

Your pic looks like an 09 nomad. If it is. Yes. Get Chuckters lowers. They are much bigger then stock. They are were $48.00 when i got them in april. He's on this forum.

Ask bRowndodge about annoying "wind" from the "gas tank". He's an expert on it.

I have seen several posts stating the larger lowers do cut down on wind buffeting. Should help with your situation.

I have Edmonds smallest lowers on my '07 and it cut the buffeting down to almost zero.

Larger lowers in combination with engine guard chaps will damn near eliminate any and all wind buffeting you might be experiencing....

That's the "wind from the seat". Different issue. Not bad as long as BD avoids those monster burritos, according to Dave.

Next time try drinking Heineken and eat Lentle soup that has hot dogs in it. It'll be divorce court.

I had those too. They worked very well.

My bike chaps should be here any day and I just sent Chuckster an email to see if he makes the large lowers for my 09 Nomad. Thanks guys for the tips and contacts!
