Default Wind deflectors for a Road King

Been thinking about putting wind deflectors (the chrome ones) on my 2013 Road King. Not sure if I would like the looks.
Does anyone have any picture they could post?

There are two types of 'deflectors', one that goes under the bottom tree, the others come as a pair and fit down each fork leg. Which ones are you interested in?

Default wind deflectors

I won't ride without wind deflectors, but I have the "bat-wing" fairing.The air flow at highway speed (without the wind deflectors) is like holding a leaf blower to your chin...drives me nuts, with lowers on it's worse(wind tunnel).I don't have the lowers on now due to engine cooling in warmer weather.I painted my chrome wind deflectors black, they look good to me...that's all that matters!

I don't have any pics. but I have them on my 11 flhrc and love them, I have the ones that mount on the forks and look like vampire teeth (made for harley)....I used the karyokin ones before and they broke at the bolts with in a year so I don't recommend them..

I plan to install them on my new RK as funds permit, but in the meantime here is how they looked on my Heritage Softail, which is similar how they would look on your King...
And here's a thread on the "Rushmore" link that has some very good pictures of the deflectors on a StreetGlide: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/new-r...wild-pics.html

I have both the chrome fork deflectors and the triple tree deflector. Won't ride without them, gets rid of my wind buffeting. Stay on all year round here in South Florida.

The triangular ones that work are no longer available from Harley unless you find some old stock. The new curved ones are a couple inches shorter and do little for the wind. Still can get the triangular ones after market though. Can get them in black or chrome. The triple tree deflector does little or nothing.
