They work well. There is certainly a marked improvement in buffetting with them vs without. The only problem I have with them during the summer is that the bike runs noticeably hotter, like 10-15° with them. Not a problem if your moving but it takes a toll in traffic. So I take them off for summer riding and leave them on in the winter months.

You might save some bucks with a used Ebay pair. I see them at good discounts periodically.

Default I like mine.

I have had my chrome deflectors on for 5 years now and I like them for keeping the wind off and they do help with the buffeting. I don't notice anymore heat in the summer but then again I don't have an oil temp gauge.

Good overall add on.

Canadian summers might be a bit cooler than here in Florida too.
