The ugliest upgrade
Sorry about the quality, angle, etc-----but I wanted to share quickly...........Those wind deflectors I put on yesterday are the ugliest thing I've put on thus far. They look like fangs. The windshield is the second ugliest and all within the last two weeks. Buuuuttt.....they provide the most comfort and function of anything I've put on. I haven't ridden yet with the deflectors. Cool lookin vs functionality.....decisions of a 34 year old
Those two things will only be used in the cooler months.....I got wait till summer. I'll post more pics later from better angles. I ordered the tall backrest for the springer rail yesterday also. More functionality

You're right. They do look like fangs. "I vant to suck your bloooood!!"
It's kind of like the thoughts about a girlfriend. A pretty one will get you lots of attention, but an ugly one will give you a better ride.

RE: The ugliest upgrade
I can't bring myself to add them because of the look.
I don't get hardly any buffeting now with the windshield cut down.
I did spend some time behind a batwing last week, and it was unbelievably quiet and smooth. Maybe a dragonfly for the winter is in my future

Windhsield? What's that? Actually I have one but haven't brought myself to use it yet, not even on long hauls. I'm still young.

I thought I'd remove mine too... only been off one time for a ride.
I do take it off for cleaning the bike though, if that counts... 34 as well for reference.
