I've had one since 2008 but didn't really see it do anything, so I didn't put it on my new bike last summer.

Yes, so they could make more money selling them separately

I never thought to check, but on the SG, there aren't any holes pre-drilled!

I'm not sure if the two bolts in that area will line up with the holes in the baffle, I will check by this weekend. I was surprised since my friend's '11 SG CVO comes with a chrome baffle. I never checked his mounting.

I guess I just "assumed".

Going by the price of $40 plus dollars I think you may of bought the Fork Bracket Cover

Instead of the Front Fork Air Baffle which are priced around $25.

You guys make me laugh....................you need some more Hater Koolaide?
Think for yourselves man.

Harley use to advise people to take them off when it got warm out.
Of course people wouldn't, so they just quit putting them on in the first place.

Guys, guys, allow me to clarify some points...

MSRP is $42.72. Yours was either used, aftermarket, a takeoff or before a huge price increase. There are not even on eBay. And since when did Harley sell painted parts for $10? We all know what "HD" stands for....

No sir. Painted is more.
