Putting just that fork baffle on didn't make much of a noticable difference in my case.

I now use HD painted lowers, a Dragonfly fairing, the fork baffle &extended wind deflectors & get no wind updraft at all but I'm not really sure which parts are affecting it the most.

They still sell the black one.....I've got the part# at home,I'll post it once I get home...I think its like 9 or 10 bucks from Zanottis.

 

Anyone else have problems with their glasses vibrating and making things alittle blurry. I wear Oakley wrap arounds and never had problems on my Fatboy. Since I bought the Street Glide it has become quite an annoyance. Will this part help?

 

Ya, now I'm curious! I had a Deuce with no issues. However, my SG causes my prescription glasses to shake around - talk about giving you a head ache!

I'm gonna spend the $20 and get the baffle. Hope it helps.

Anyone else with prescription glasses notice this????

 

I'm telling you get the baffel It does a great job at reducing blasting right up through the center. Here is a link

HD part number 58520-79TC

If there was a engine heating issue I'm sure HD would post a warning. Besides all that air that used to come between the forks and hit you in the chest is now re-directed right towards the front of the engine and oil filter.

 

You need to get a taller windshield also. It is a combination of both.

 

For those that want the black fork baffle, the part number is 58520-79A and the last time it appears in a parts manual is the 2000 model year. I just picked it up at my local dealer (they only had one in stock) and installed it. I went ahead and bought the self-tapping bolts that were OEM in 2000 as well instead of tapping the bolt holes myself. I'm going for a test ride right now.

 

UH, add lowers.....

 

As far as the shaking glasses, I find it is due to the air jittering my helmet, as I don't get this problem when I go from my DOT to skid.... I have the fork baffle and also had the smoked wings, but found they didn't do much good for me.

I have an ACC helmet coming tomorrow, so I'll report back to see if that solves the problem (for the $$, I hope it does)

 

as far as glasses jumping up and down, the fix is a taller sheild. when i bought my bike, it had a dark smoked S/G shield on it and my glasses jumping around drove me nuts. i took a stock sheild and cut it to be 2" taller than the S/G sheild and it works perfect. i see over it, but the wind goes right over my head (i'm only 5'4" tall)
