Default Chrome Wind Deflectors

Has anyone used the chrome fork mounted wind deflectors? It seems I have more cold air coming from under the windshield. I haven't checked the HD P & A Catalog lately. I know they're basically listed for 99 & older Heritage etc. I would think they would fit a 2000 or newer. More of a Winter question, but just wondering.

Thanks,

I have a pair on a Road King, and they seem to help. Word of advice tho: I bought the cheaper (read: Imported) ones.. The fit and finish appeared to be fine for about a year. Then, I noticed that they were getting rust pits on the back side of em.

I have them on an '05 Deluxe with a detachable king-size windshield. They work great and were easy to install.

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

Hey Sam Stone,

What's a "Wind Bafle" ?

Friend of mine has them on his '05 Heritage. I think they are butt ugly but he swears by them!

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