I'm a believer!

Couldn't wait to order online and went to my dealer and bought the last one they had. As stated, quick and easy install. The amount of turbulent air reduction is amazing. Noticeable improvement at all speeds. Helmet bobble gone. Heat was slightly more noticeable, but not significant. Plenty of air to keep the engine cool below the waist.

Have to say the GADS made a pretty good difference for me. No more bouncing eyeballs Thanks MilesofTexas for the info & saving me from the fugly fangs

Mine arrived today, didn't get a chance to try it yet though.

Just purchased the GADS today. For $28 with shipping included, it sounds like a no-brainer to me. Will post the outcome once I get it and test it out.

I installed mine.

I can't say that I notice a difference but wat evs. It makes for a nice decoration. I already have the fangs so maybe that's why I don't notice a difference because the fangs made a huge difference.

I would think that for $28 for a piece of plastic I could have gotten longer bolts included - that would have been nice.

I added the fangs to my 2015 Road King and it really didnt do anything. I did notice it was quieter below 55 mph. In CA with cruising speeds of 65 and up I would get slight buffeting. I have the 16in LRS and tucking in gets rid of the buffeting. I wonder if the lower triple tree deflector will do anything

Can you show us some pics at the different angles?

My 2015 SGS was in the dealer for its 1k service, plus the two recalls, yesterday. While there I had them fit the fangs hoping I could live with the looks.

I have to say that in combination with the GADS and LRS shield I now have no buffering at all up to 80mph. Didn't try any faster than that as I'm never likely to go faster than that.

Very pleased with the result. Aside from the dealer trapping the turn signal wire - I spotted it so why couldn't they! Also, as the bike is charcoal pearl, the fangs are hardly noticeable.

I purchased the GADS and am having issues installing due to the existing bolt length being too short. Anyone know off the top of their head what the details of the bolt is? Maybe I can go to ACE and get longer ones.
