For that price, I'd say you try it, depends how long your torso is. Look up the way to measure what size you need. Some people are name ****** and only believe in what cost the most. I believe in functionality.
where was this $18 knock off sold, would like to try it

I really don't have a lot of buffering and until I read this it just dawned on me that I always have the vent open and it does make a major difference in the turbulence.

Default fairing mounted wind deflectors

Has anybody had any experience with Harley's inner fairing mounted adjustable wind deflectors? I've ordered a taller curved windshield but just curious if the deflectors would also decrease the buffeting?
