Default Wind buffeting coming from below

I would like to know if there is a product available to stop or deflect the wind coming up from just above the lowers on an Ultra? The other day on a fast hwy ride I noticed that if I put my boots up on top of the fairing lowers the buffeting completely went away!

Here is a product that does just that. This pic is from Drag Specialties, but Harley has one available as well. They work great, deflects the wind down to the motor vs up over the lowers. You will should be happy with the results, many on here have installed these.

Default Wind Deflectors

SpiderPig where is the picture? are you talking about the chrome wind deflectors made of sheet metal that bolt to the front forks? You tsay these work with the batwinfg fairing, I had em on my road king and I wasnt too impressed maybe on my dresser they will work better as right now cant afford the factory lowers with glove boxes so maybe this can hold me over as I got heated gear thanks Bill

Kinda hard from the pic, how does it mount?
Do they mpunt and point away from the fork legs?
Looks better than adding these HUGE chrome fork ones

I put one of the fork baffles on and did help some on the air through the forks but there is a big issue with air coming up from the sides of the fuel tank that the baffle didnt help
