Buffeting
Try holding your hand to see where the wind is comming from. I can only tell you it worked on my Stratoliner. I did find a post on another site saying the same thing. I don't know if Bucks Lowers will mount with your windshield. I think Memphis Shades makes a set that mount on the forks. I use Bucks lowers, they work well. No bike will work for everyone out of the box.
This from another 1300 site.

Windshields
The stock windshield is generally a bit tall for most people. Many, if not most, riders also complain about the amount of wind buffetting that occurs around the head/helmet area. One solution to that is to add lowers to deflect more of the wind coming up from around the gas tank.
Bucks Lowers
Bucks Lowers (
www.buckslowers.com) is one of the favorites across the group. These lowers are specially designed for the V Star 1300 and do an excellent job of reducing the wind buffetting. Be warned, Buck only takes checks (no credit card or paypal).
Harley Davidson
Harley Davidson part number 58121-85B. This is a chrome unit and DOES require you to drill new lower holes to line up with the OEM windshield mounting brackets. These lowers extend several inches further down the fork leg than others available. The MSRP for these is approx
$69.99.
