Well, I've heard both sides about the fork baffle, but I went ahead and added one to my bike. I've got a Custom Half Moon windshield, and wings on the batwing, and took it out for a spin today.

I must say, after adding the fork baffle, it did make a significant difference on my bike. Still a little buffeting, but a measured decrease after adding it to my already shield and wings. I noticed it seemed to push the air lower around the tank, and I felt it more on my legs, and pushed the rise further back on my bike.

I've got a Cee Baileys 12" coming this week, so I will be interested in seeing what difference it makes, if any....

For what it's worth on my bike, it was well worth the $25 bucks, plus I hit a 20% sale too!

Well, I tested the deflector a little more aggressively today. Interstate travel, and in one stretch, ticked over 100 mph just see what the bike was like at high speed. The buffeting was noticeable, but still less than what it used to be without the baffle. Again, my CB's Euro should be here this week, so we'll get that put on and see what the results are then.
