It's all ground effects baby... those air dams keep the nose of the bike pressed against the tarmack at those white knuckle speeds the bikes usually run at. You wouldn't want any air under the bike lifting the front end at those LSR speeds.

The standard Harley has all the aerodynamicsleekness of a 1957 John Deere. Addingthat little air dam has the same function and effectiveness as those little matching bikini fairings they put on some of those bikes. It's another cool accessory to "color match" to the bike.

Thanks again.
