Default Front for air baffle

Does anyone here have a picture of the Harley front fork air baffle part # 58520-79TC
installed on their 09 - 11 Street Glide? It would be very much appreciated. I am thinking that the majority of my air turbulance on my glasses is coming from between the forks, and not as much over the stock shield. Thanks

You will barely see it. Sorry, but can`t get a pic before I get street glide out of hibernation.

I know it's cheap but it does absolutely nothing - neither for appearance or buffeting. Save your money it won't calm your glasses down.

I bought the black one, so you can't see it very well. I'd say it helps about 5%.

Your shield could be too short making the turbulence. How tall are you?

I don't have a picture but I think they must do something. I have to clean the bugs off of mine. They get smushed on the bottom side so the air must be getting pushed down.

I bought one because my beard goes ape **** and it didnt do a thing to help. Im not real fond of the way they look but Im probably going to try the fork air deflectors pn 58121-85B. Ive heard they do work because they keep the air from coming up around the tank.
