Yep. Took em off and put a shorty windshield on it.
Actually, I used a Harley tinted one I had from years
ago. It's ok, but a little turbulent with a shorty helmet.
Which leads to my next question. Has anyone used
the Freedom 17" flip shield ? The 16" LRS is too short.
(Been there done it)

Oh, for those wondering, removing the fangs made
NO difference in oil temp. 225, just like it is with them.
(20 deg hotter than my carbureted 00 ran.)
Sure makes it cooler on the legs on a warm day

 

I took mine off for a different look and to see if they affected my gas mileage. My mileage stayed about the same and the buffeting hasn't seemed to be worse either. I will probably keep them off indefinitely now.

 

There's some from underneath.
They're just too hot. It's a trade off
I do it every year.


What I was catching yesterday though was eyeball level.
Just need that little flip at the top.
I was just curious about that 17" shield
