true but the old style is still available in some places so I am curious if there are any advantages to either. They remain popular when they come up. Often worth more use than the newer ones new.

 

The new curved ones work fine for me. I also think they are much better looking, the curved design kind of goes with the classic look of a Harley.

 

nervous, I'm using the older version. I bought them back in 2012.

 

thanks. I just passed a set on eBay that was priced higher than new. The old ones are clearly longer than the new ones. Look the same at the bottom but come up higher behind the Lauren signal and aux lights. Wonder if they helps. Yet, for the many positive reviews, a lot are more likely with the newer version given the length of time the old one has been discontinued. And the reviews remain as solidly positive as the ones I had read from several years ago so it is probably a safe bet that they both work very well.

So I am going to order up a set of new ones and see how that goes. I do agree that to my eye they are a bit better looking. I'll report back once they are installed and tested.

Thanks all.

 

I think these look terrible....but hey to each his own.

Also what's all this talk about buffeting with a Road King? Sorry to be a dick, but I don't get it.

 

I have the older version. Cruising at 75-80 they really make a difference with my LRS recurve shield. If i'm not on the highway,they go in one my bags,don't leave home without them.

 

Harrumph, harrumph, harrumph. Yeesh. What a fu**ing grump. If you're not bothered then good on ya. There's nothing in this thread that would interest you, eh? I see a couple posts like yours in every one of these threads.

But, I will say, that one of the first and only genuine annoyances I experienced on my Road King was the head rattling buffeting. It surprised me honestly. Not just a little "hey jackass, yer on a friggin motorcicle whadda you expect?" Kind of wind but the kind that batters your head so continually that it blurs your vision. And, with a partially detached vitreous in one eye that's just not a lid of fun. So all that macho **** be damned, I started looking for an answer instead of some Neanderthalic response of "There's wind on a bike, deal with it *****!" And once I started reading posts dating back several years that described the exact issue and the possibly solution being a set of these then why wouldn't I try?

Oh, I know. It's because you don't get it and it does not affect you, therefore it's stoopid.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

I have had both kinds(old and new) the old set was on a 2000 Heritage though. I can say that the old and new sets(new set on a 2009 Streetglide) both work great...........

 

that's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks.

 

I have no experience with the old ones so I cant speak to that, however the new model is what I put on my RK and it made a very noticeable difference.
