RE: Chrome Wind Deflectors
A wind baffle used to come stock on touring bikes. It is a 1/4 moon shaped device that goes at the top of the forks and diverts wind from coming up the front of the tank and directs it on the engine. They cost about $16.

Hey Sam Stone,
What's a "Wind Bafle" ?

Love mine. They do make a difference, especially if you also install a wind baffle.

Must be something wrong with mine, feels the same with or without them. Could be just the Ga air.

I have'em on my 05 Heritage and they do the trick.

If you mount the deflectors on a heritiage with an engine guard, make sure you get the ones with the cutouts so you can turn your bike. Otherwise the deflectors hit the guard.

RE: Chrome Wind Deflectors
I do have the Eng/guard. I thought of that too. I ordered the factory deflectors. I didn't see a choice. Did I miss something?? Let a GM Parts guy look up Harley parts . . . Scary !!!
I looked on ebay too. By the time you pay shpg, it's about the same.
$66 bucks new from Harley.
Thanks,

RE: Chrome Wind Deflectors
I did install them tonight. Took all of 5 min. They fit perfect. They clear everything(closely), there are even notches for the eng guard(as CJGROG stated). It's raining so, next chance I get I'll go for a rip down the freeway.
