Default Fork spears

Went and had fork spears/wind deflectors thrown on today. It hade for a good excuse to go ride in 28 degree weather. They help some but I wasn't expecting much anyways but anything will help with warmth.

Yup, I find they make enough of a difference to keep em on. They seem to cut a lot of the wind off my chest the way they fit under the shield.

Fork Spears.. Never Heard of them..

LOoks like the HD Fanges

They don't or shouldn't have been in the Keep U *** warm listing..

Bout the only thing they might do it help the AIR Buffering on Ur LID..

How do they pare ($$$$$) to the HD's Fanges...

They are the HD ones. The term spears is a nickname for them. Like fangs. Must be a regional term. So far they are helping. Not much but they are. The wind normally hitting my thighs and stomach has now been routed up and over my head, occasionally straight into my face as well but my legs are much warmer. As for cost I paid 70+ tax for them and my dealer installs most accessories for free. I say most because they won't front the bill for my Boom install and are quoting me 3 hours for install

It is hard to tell in the picture. Are they chrome or stainless? Do you like the look with them on?

They are Chrome. I like the look with the windsheild on. Not so much with the sheild off so they will probably go the way of the windsheild in warmer weather and be taken off.
