Default another wind deflector question

I see that pretty much everyone seems to like the wind deflectors but I had a couple other questions. I ride without a windshield most of the time, is there any difference in air flow with the deflectors on and the shield off?
Anyone have any pics of them on a FLSTC with the front end view, just wondering how they would look on the bike with and without a wind shield.
Thanks, JohnP

John,

My wife has a Hertiage with the deflectors, and I think it looks good with or without the windshield. Same with the 1995 Roadking that I used to have, but looks is a very relative thing.

I'm not where I can take a picture or post it until Monday. If that is soon enough let me know, and I'll get you a frontal view.

Regards,

Bill

Go to Heritage Pictures, last page, scroll down to Wolfdog's pictures. He has a great-looking red Heritage with the HD reflectors.

hi Guys thanks for the input. Nice bike and that was the angle I wanted to see, something from the front.
I figure I can always leave them off except for long trips if I decide I don't like them after a while. Bill you don't need to take a shot of the bike I saw the front end view, however it could'nt hurt to see another ride!!!!
Johnp.
