Who is running lower wind deflectors? (fangs)
Who is running lower fork mounted wind deflectors with the billboard type windscreen that comes on Heritage or Road King? I have extreme buffeting at highway speeds and I'm convinced its coming from down low. If i put my left arm across my chest, it goes away. How much difference do those "lowers" make?

Its/there are the only thing that will make a DIFF..
and Ur right, the air does come from below,,, and the fangs will help more than any shield mod will do.....
Do some research using Google and U'll see that they work.

They get rave reviews for function but when I think about putting those contraptions on my bike, buffeting doesn't seem all that bad

I installed the wind deflectors on my Heritage. They made a big difference in the amount of buffeting. Plus I think they look sharp.

They work great but I have to agree - not great looking. I only put them on for long rides.

I've got them installed. They work, and I don't think they look bad at all...

Those things would stick out like a sore thumb on my scoot...or any FX front end IMO. But, to each his own.
