Black Ultra Fork Wind Deflectors ....Fantastic

Great Post and had a couple questions I didn't see anyone ask.
1. Do they block or limit the airflow through the lower's vents?
2. I ride in the heat, so without that airflow (which I hate) does it seem any hotter behind the fairing? I also take my lowers off in the summer, so it looks like it still does the job without the lowers on. Just wondering about the heat, because it can get pretty hot behind that fairing.
3. It's the engine running any hotter with the deflected air? Anyone see a temp increase?
I have them (HD brand) on my RoadKing and they work great for the winter, but too hot in the summer. Looks like a great solution to my sun glasses "rattling" while I'm riding. Just drives me crazy always pushing the glasses tight against my face. The one post I saw regarding the "re-curve" windshield, I have a ClearView "re-curve" light smoked windshield and it helped a bit but not over 70 mph. Still get the wind buffeting my helmet and sunglasses at 80+ mph and biteme to anyone that says "Just slow down"....LOL

There is a slight decrease in the air flow through the lower vents. I can tell that there is less but not a lot less. To me 70 mph feels more like 55 mph air flow through the lower vents. Also they don't remove all the air coming behind the fairing. You still get some flow between your knees and the fuel tank. Again for me 70 mph feels like what you would get at 40 mph. What is gone is the strong up-draft that shook your head/helmet so bad. Their easy to remove for those really hot days.

Old thread, but.....I just plaed my order. I am also having the wind coming from over the top of the lowers and then blasting me in the face. These should help since they will block any air from passing over the lower. I tried to buy the ones from HD today, but they dont fit with lower fairings....HD needs to redo their design.

Yeah, I would have rather purchased the HD ones, but since they say they don't fit with lowers, I'm not going to bend them up and everything else when I can buy a pair that fits with lowers on. Don't know why HD dosent have a set that will fit with lowers being they have a couple of bikes that comes from the factory with lowers. Not to mention they arent carried in the store so they are a special order and that means if they dont fit they charge you a restocking fee.
I have a yellow bike so black wouldnt really blend in. I just went ahead and got the chrome ones, they wont look terrible. I'm buying them because I want to get that wind out my face and head and chest.
