With a windscreen on the bars, the effects of the buffeting aft of the screen can cause the wobble all by itself as it's directly connected to the bars ; by inducing minute involuntary rider inputs ; or a combination of both .


Leaving a hole or gap in the lower center of the fairing will also reduce the buffeting. Top and/or side spoilers mounted with a gap also tend to do that.
