I have fork deflectors on my SG. I've been looking at fairing lowers and thinking about putting them on my bike to get a little more protection on my lower legs at highway speeds. Does anyone have an real world experience and can comment on switching from deflectors to lowers - any pros and cons. thanks.

 

I don't , sorry, but I'm curious what you think about the deflectors. Did the help with the air that comes up from under the fairing? What brand did you go with? Satisfied?

 

I like them. Between the deflectors and batwings pretty much eliminated the buffetting I was getting. Plus I got the gloss black ones and like the look. There are only a couple of people making them for the SG. I got mine from street-glide.com

 

The lowers will kick up more air over the tank. In the fall of the year, having both lowers and deflectors will make a huge difference.

 

........ you'll never regret getting the lowers

 

If I'm understanding your response, the lowers actually make the air coming up over the tank worse?

Thanks for the answers on the deflectors. Looked at Street-glide.com. Think they are kind of pricey. Think I might borrow my buds brake and see if I can make myself up a set. $69 ain't a bad price, but I would want flat black and for some reason flat black cost $30 more...wtf. Maybe I'll just buy the gloss ones and plastidip them black.

 

It doesn't seem to me you can have both. The lowers interfere with the deflectors don't they?

You can have both.

I installed fork air deflectors on my 2010 Limited that came with lowers on it two years ago.
I keep them both all year long. They work great together especially in the rain.
