Default Chrome air baffle

Book says doesn't fit TG. Course we know about the book
will it fit with the steering dampner?

If it's the Chrome Front Fork Air Baffle? If so then no, you'd have to remove the steering dampner to make it work.

That is one thing I noticed about the TG vs my Ultra is there is a lot more air coming up from the bottom due to the rake. So far I haven't run across anything to kill some of it.

It's not very noticeable in warm weather but when it cools down, I wear a Gortex bandanna to cover my chin & neck.

You mean something like these?



I happened to have a set in the garage attic and pulled them out to see if they would fit, they will hit the lowers and the acorn nut for the dampener is in the way.

Ever see that vest with the flaps on it?The vest has flaps that rise up and curtail the updraft reducing buffeting,that's what they say.
