Back at the dealer, eh?  Lotta hours in the saddle!

The NC windshield does not eliminate buffeting.  It reduces it, a lot.  You can see from this pic that I've got mine sitting higher than the 'std' install to try to get more protection.  I am very short.  I have the short seat.  The NC Street shield comes up to ~ my neck, maybe a lil higher, but I still notice n deal with some buffeting.  It is worth having.  Compared to the no windshield buffeting it's so much calmer.  Sometimes when a big double semi is oncoming approaching on a fast 2 lane road I'll duck into the wind shield shadow briefly as the air blast goes by.  Overall I highly like it and recommend it.

So,
I decided that I had some extra time on my hands, and so I began the process of modifying the fan relay switch so I could use it from the handlebars...
* The first thing to do was to get 5 colors of high quality 22 gauge multi strand wire, Amazon, $22.00 US.
* The second was to add 60" of wire to the switch end, and shrink wrap the soldered joints and about 3 feet of the wire harness.
* I then went back & mounted the switch back on to the handlebar mounts, raised the fuel tank, four 6mm bolts, very easy, and ran the harness through the frame.
* I removed the battery, found the relay box, and also found that there was no spare room for anything else down in the pocket. Making the harness was not hard, just a little time consuming, soldering on their end with the 4 wire connectors was not hard.
* Trying to fine a good place for their male/female connectors was really a pain. They did not allow enough wire length between the two connectors to position them without stress.
* I had to remove the fuse box's out of the way, & unplug the rectifier, so that I could get into the area & cut back some of the main harness end tape, to make room.
* So, all ended well, and all the systems work, including the fan relay switch
Would I do it again, not so sure. I ended up with a wiring system that is just as reliable as when it was stock, but I have been working on engines & bikes for 40 years.
If you are new to this, I would no recommend this temperature fix.

Yep.  My MPG have reduced a bit since the mods but the Smiles Per Gallon have increased exponentially.  :)

Yep totally get it and almost caveated my original post in acknowledgement of the contradiction, but still curious about people's real world numbers..?
