Exactly. Increasing the relatively flat surface area of a motorcycle only makes it easier for the wind to catch that surface area and use it as a big sail. You would definitely be better off without the windshield then. At that point, you need to duck down and make yourself as small as possible, while slowing down.
Otherwise, the only thing that will help you is a massive increase in vehicle weight.
Oh, and while south Texas winds may be bad, they have nothing on the Hollister Corridor, or really bad nights up on the Grapevine.
The other thing is, man, just look at your picture there. That giant barn door atop the '17 EX absolutely ruins the aesthetic. It's the visual equivalent of a gorgeous lady using a walker.
