Default handlebar pouch for bones ?

I am wondering if anyone thinks that a bag on the bars will help with deflecting the highway wind a bit? i found the pics below on a post about windshields (not a fan). Also does anyone know where you can buy that set up ?

Try it out and see. It may help or it could hurt by directing the wind straight at yer' head.

I rode a Street Glide at demo day. I'm a tad over 6 foot. That bike shot a blast of wind at my forehead that was unnerving at best.

So a simple leather bag helping to deflect wind is very suspect IMO.

Prices seem very decent and from what I've heard here, the quality can't be beat.
