Vest = NO buffeting

Just tried out my new "Jacks Flaps" vest in 34 degree weather at 70 miles an hour on my roadking and I gotta tell you it made a huge difference! No buffeting my helmet around and much less wind in my face. Recommend it to anybody with a windshield (won`t work with batwing).

Pretty cool. I don't have a use for this but it's a pretty neat 'gadget'

You know my husband ordered one of these a couple years ago. I have to admit I laughed when he told me what he was buying to get rid of some of the turbulence behind his fairing

Well it works just as advertised. Those pocket flaps lift right up above about 30 mph. Deflects a lot of the wind from underneath. He loves the thing and it is well made too

I had one of those back when I had my '06 RK Custom -- worked great. The vest, along with the 'walrus tooth' lowers, made for a comfortable ride on the super-slab.

Sold it when I got my first EG.
