+3....Had the same issue. The baffle reduced it by about 80%. Barely noticeable now.
The baffle is pretty inexpensive and goes on in about 10 minutes. You have a choice of chrome or black. Just make sure to run a thread tap in the 2 mounting holes to remove the paint from them.
I recall it's a 1/4 " X 20 tap. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

CN
++++ The Fork Baffle....one of the BEST $25 Ive spent on the EGS!!!! He's right on the tap size....just make sure it's a 'bottom hole' tap.

(If only solving the 'heat' issue were so cheap! lol)

Laterz...

The Baffle came stock on my 06 RG but I changed it out for the chrome one

The fork baffle forces more air over the engine instead of it coming over the tank. I love mine.

Buttons or snaps. Zippers work well too

The fork baffle and the fairing wings work for me.

The fork baffle is one of the best mods I have done.
