My 12 FLHTCU came with the adjustable wings, and I like them. They block the wind nicely, but also allow you to adjust and put more air on rider and passenger for those hot summer days.

I also have the air damn between the forks that greatly reduced the air coming under the faring and over the tank, and the dry eyes and nose that went with it, and I'm thinking about adding the fangs on the forks as well.

The LRS flat top 10inch shield also makes a big difference in directing the air around and over rider and passenger.

Yeah I did, They help with the buffeting along with the 7.5 Windsplitter shield.

The CVO came with the adjustable fairing deflectors and the ashtray under the trees. Between them and the Madstad, there's substantially less buffeting - especially with a full face helmet - than there was before. I ordered a set of the JES fork deflectors yesterday, so we'll see what effect they have.

All of the turbulence I get now is coming from under and around the tank, so I'd assume that the fork deflectors will solve that. I just wish they weren't so damned ugly.

I personally think the HD ones are nicer looking than the JES but agree not an attractive enhancement but they eliminated all the air coming straight up the front of your body.

From what I've read, the HD ones won't work with the CVO spot/turns and/or the lowers.

Yup. Color matching the deflectors looks tons better.

I have the JES fork deflectors and the HD ash tray....World of difference.
And I agree with the above the Fangs look ugly, But after awhile ya forget about them, At my age now I'm for comfort not style, I did my time on ridgeds and jocky shifts....It's all about comfort now.

Temp got up to 50 today so did a ride then mounted the wings and took another ride honestly can't say I feel a difference not like the fork lowers where it was a huge difference but what the hell I'm going to have the painter shoot the fronts so they match the fairing while he's painting the bag guards.
