Years ago a company named Cee Bailey sold windshields for the R1200C. Their shields came with a cutout in the lower center that allowed a stream of air to penetrate the volume in front of the rider and stop up-draft buffeting. I know because I had one for 14 years.
The high speed air entering that cutout comes to a sudden stop because the small area cutout suddenly expends to a large area in front of the rider.
Area1 * Velocity1 = Area2 * Velocity2. Area1 is a small number while...

For those of you like me that may have been waiting for a set of Vance & Hines mufflers to magically appear at your dealership here is a communication I got from Vance & Hines.
We do not make exhausts for BMW bikes anymore. The exhausts we made in the past were exclusively sold through the BMW dealer as an OEM upgrade but our contract came to a close in 2022. All of those exhausts were discontinued. Some dealerships still have some in stock.
Thank you,
