I have the harley ones on my 14 sg. When i was out west of my trip i needed to open them and direct more air towards me cause i felt like I was gonna melt out there in the heat. Glad I had the option to open them. Well worth the few extra bucks is my .02's on it.

Same here, really glad I got the ones that open. Gives that wind in your face back even with these batwings and windshields. Same experience though, buffeting is increased if opened to much.

I didn't have them on my '05. My '14 came with the factory adjustable ones. Having the ability to direct air to your legs, chest, face is a great asset on a hot day. It helps to keep the air off you when it's cold out. I can't see any reason to install non adjustable wings.
