I don't get any buffeting on my RKC at 70MPH with just a t-shirt on.....so I believe I'll keep my $90 in my pocket then.

I like the chrome wind deflectors. They do a great job.

I like the disclaimer " Be advised that this vest does not work on Electra-Glides, and it does not work on bikes without windshields."

Why wouldn't it work on anything it's got flaps? Funny...

It works because the updraft lifts the flaps on the pocket up. They dont lift much higher than a 90 degree angle as they are attached from underneath with a restraint

With no windshield the wind would come from straight on not allowing them to lift. They need the updraft

My husband has a Ultra Classic. There is an updraft on his and like I said he loves it.
