Would this so called thing-a-majiggy fit an Road King std.It's about 900 degrees now in vegas any gizmo to aid in cooling is a good thing!

 

I've got a chrome one on my SG. I think it looks good and matches my chromed lowers but I can't say that it has made one bit of difference in any kind of wind buffetting. You can special order a black one just by asking service for the Road Glide stock part.

 

I guess it would be rediculous to the thats the reason the MoCo puts a cheap chitty seat on the bike and has plenty of nice comfortable seats in the parts catolog

 

G, nice additions to your bike, I have a question for you that is unrelated to your post. I have a 2006 Road King Custom, just went over 1200 miles, just breaking it in, and had to put a quart of oil in it to top it off. I was a little concerned, but the dealer told me it was normal to use that amount of oil in the breakin period. Did you use oil during the time your bike was at the 1000 mile mark? Aframe2

 

I have one on my ultra, works great looks good. I think if it was going to adversely affect cooling there would be a warning that came with it so as to save the moco money on warranty claims from hot running twinkies. Just my thought, but it sure looks like it forces air toward the motor(only makes sense since the air is redirected from the rider, has to go somewhere!)

 

BH how was it putting your on i have an 05 electra std the hole i think they are talking about it looks like brake lines are in the way.could u send pics if poss.
thx

 

I have to say that this guy is thinking. Don't always see that.

 

I had a chrome one. I dont think it impedes cooling, HOWEVER, as an experiment I took it off, and DID notice a reduction in heat buildup under the gas tank and at the nose of the seat. While I think the motor gets cooled ok with the baffle on, it does kill the airflow at the very top of the motor, (rocker boxes etc) and that heat does build up under the tank, and flow backwards to the rider.

Im leaving mine off. The difference in rider comfort from the lack of heat buildup, outweighs the minimal (if any) reduction in buffeting I felt. Frankly, as far as THAT goes, it was a waste of money IMHO.

 

I put one on my 07 Ultra, thought that I felt less air coming up between the fairing and the tank ( it was cool weather), rode it some with the baffle on and then took it off again to see if I could tell the difference. I could tell quite a bit of difference in the amount of air. Put it back on and it has been on during the summers also, can't tell the difference in engine heat either way and think it helps in th winter. Do not believe it runs hotter with the baffle, gonna take more than a couple of techs talking to convince me.

 

My 08 came with one. When I changed to chrome I gained ten HP.
