Default Batwing Wind Deflectors

This is my 1st Batwing do the Batwing mounted wind defectors kill the wind that comes up around the tank?

I have the bat wing deflectors and the fork deflectors from JES..I have to tell you the fork deflectors are the ticket. I also have a ashtray the middle of the forks deflector and to be honest it works great...but I swear I get lift on the road with that thing on. I could be wrong but my bike feels light in the front around 80MPH..

I find the biggest + is directing the air at you on hot rides.

X2 on the JES fork deflectors. By far the biggest bang for the buck on the wind coming around the tank causing buffetting

+1 on hot days they work great, but they also direct the air so it blows off your hat.
