Thanks for all the feedback, I was doubtful if it would actually make a noticeable difference but with all the feedback I've gotten I have no doubt that its going to work for me.

Thanks again

From what I here about Texas, that must be most of the summer.

+1 Had them added to my Classic and very well appreciated on hot days and cold!

Love mine! Beat me up pretty bad before I put them on. I bought the HD smoked adjustable ones. Easy install and well worth the money.

EE Bean, before you tackle the job, you might want to see if you have a 10-24 tap. i think three of my brass bushings weren't tapped for the threads for the screws that hold the flap brackets in place. it's easy to do, and they work great. it's nice having a way to direct the air flow either towards you or away from you.

Boots,

Thanks for your photos, the first time I've seen how these things fit on. My bike is earlier than yours, so are they held on using existing screw holes?

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'm going to give the HD adjustable a try

I lot cheaper than HD's. Where I get the most buffeting is when I put my feet up on the crash bar pegs. I put a fork baffle in, that helps a little but I still get a lot of wind, besides from my wife. Anyone else get this?
