Fairing mounted wind deflectors?
I can't find the answer searching... Hopefully someone can shed some light on this question.
If I add wind deflectors on my SGS, will positioning them at a certain angle help to bring MORE air into me in the heat of the summer than I get without them? I know they block wind, but will they help to draw air onto me?

bought the set off of ebay

compared them to the Harley brand and they are exactly the same and only issue I ran in to was too loose on pivot which was fixed with a 1/4 in screw run down the center of each pivot point.
600 miles later still working pefect

Well worth having the adjustable wind deflectors in Nevada in hot or cold weather.

Yes. If you are old enough, think of the wind deflectors as those funky little triangular windows on cars. Angle them properly, and you can get all the wind you desire.
