Default Best $100.00 I ever spent

Don't even care how it looks- easily removed if I choose, but what a difference! Turned a bike that beat me up, rattled my glasses and lifted my helmet into something I can ride all day and into the night. Just need to get them powdered coated now.

No worry as long as it works. That's the main thing.

If it makes for a better ride, and you're happy with it, then it's money well spent.
I put a flyscreen on my Triumph, and it made a huge difference. I like the look better without it, but I can ride a lot faster and longer without getting wore out.

100% agree..put them on my 15 RK and LOVED them, they really work!!!!!, was the first take off must have item transferred to my 17 RK..I could give a rodent's hindquarters about how they look, they're never coming off unless to go on another bike..btw..the looks don't bother me

Yes I have em on my SGS. Don't like the looks but they eliminate all the buffeting from air coming up around the tank hitting you in the head. Move your hand alongside the gas tank when you're going down the road at 60+ and you'll feel all that air coming up. Makes long rides much more comfortable at highway speeds.
