Have you tried a tank lift?... it will help direct the flow a little more under the tank

No, I have not tried a tank lift. Was really kind of hoping a bunch of guys would chime in and sat that those fairing air deflectors were perfect and that's all I would need to do, LOL. It's not that large of a deal I was just trying to quick easy way to divert the air if I could. Probably just stick with the hair bands for now. On a side note, is that a stock color blue on your street glide? That picture makes it look gorgeous!

A Madstad Windshield may be an answer for you. Some think they are ugly, I don't. I also ride a RG too so what the hell do I know about what looks good?

mine blows straight up, I just deal with it. It starts to poke my cheeks when its time to get trimmed up. The only annoying part is when i get to my destination, its usually sticking straight out

And considering that it's still early in the morning, why don't you take this time to go pour yourself a big old cup of "***** Off". Unless of course you're the topic police and get to choose which topics people get to ask questions about. And if that's the case, then by all means go pour yourself a great big cup of "Have a great day officer!" I guess you must be bored living your retirement dream! Go for a ride man... ..

Fork Fangs do a better job that the adjustable air deflectors on the bottom of the fairing, if you don't like the look of them, look into the MADS fork deflectors, they don't go down as low,and are wider than the fork fangs.
