Mine arrived yesterday, installation was easy and went for a short function check. It's a NIGHT and DAY difference. The pocket behind the fairing is more comfortable now and will increase long haul comfort and reduce fatigue.

Do you guys that have them think that they would work with fairing wind deflectors though?

I have the fairing wind deflectors as well and still have full range of movement in them.

I have the fork wind reflectors and I love them. I removed them once and after a quick ride I put them back on. Way too much turbulence without them. My '09 SG has an 8" curved windshield and no fairing reflectors.

They won't fit with the SG driving lights. Bummer.

We need some of these for Road Glides, at lest you Bat Wing guys have those adjustable wing things you can get to help the wind from coming up from below and slapping you in the face.

Purchased a set of these from Timeless last week. Got them Friday. Between the opening of the heavens over the weekend, I got in a 10 minute test ride Sunday morning.

In a word - amazing! 2010 SG with no batwing deflectors. Up till now, I tried to keep cruising speeds on main highways to 65 due to the beating I would get from the buffeting. 80 was amazingly comfortable by comparison with these on. I could feel a difference at all speeds over 30 mph.

Very pleased!
