Default Another Option

Here's another option: put the soft lowers on the crash bars (http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/harl...n-rain-guards/). No real 'install' required, just slip on/off. Often times it cuts wind quite a bit (although could flow differently on a Trike than what I've personally experienced on a 2-wheel :-) Minus 5 here in MN today too. :-(

can't remove the lowers on the 14-14 trikes, water cooled.

I appreciate all of the replys and I will explore them all.
As I mentioned before I had a 2013 model and there seems to be some differences around the forks that keep some of the 2013 stuff from mounting.
I like the idea of using the fork mounted wings but can't find any that work.
I don't know what the tank lifts are or how they would help but I will begin some research.
I did see a thread where someone made a Baffle that mounted across the forks
and blocked the air coming over the tank, but when I made a cardboard model it wouldn't mount on my forks.

Thanks again,
Graybeard1944

I talked to Kim today at f4.
She said the Baker air wings for the ultra would fit fine on my 2015 and they think that they will eliminate a large portion of the air blast.
They seem to be less sure that the between the forks air deflector will not be a problem with the steering damper. They seem to think that the air wings may make it unnecessary anyway.
I would still like to see what anyone has been able to come up with on their own if they didn't mind sharing there knowledge.

Thanks Graybeard.

Default Yea

I had the fork fangs on my road King and I really thought they worked great.
I just installed the tank lift and if The temp is ever above 30 degrees again I'm going to see if that helps. I would like to use the fangs if needed because they did work for wind. Not sure how you had to modifiy them. With lowers ect...
