RE: Fairing Air Deflectors
Does anyone know for sure if these fit on a Streetglide? It doesn't say on the HD site that they do, but I can't see why they wouldn't.

RE: Fairing Air Deflectors
I just added the HD set to my EGS. I like the 'deflection' these give....doesnt 'lift' my ciggies out of my pocket....also the 'updraft' would really dry my eyes out. So far...no complaints. The last time I road in the rain, the mist came from below. I found that if I held my arm across my body about mid-torso level, the updraft stopped....as did the mist. Havent tried these in the rain yet...but the 'arm' test didnt change anything after adding them..so I feel it's money well spent.
Might check into the 'Freedom Wings' though...
My .02 worth. LOL.....Live (buy) n Learn!

I noticed that it keeps the wind from coming up under your helmet with them on. I also painted them to match the fairing.

What is the advantage/disadvantage of adding the Fairing Air Deflectors? I experience some helmet buffeting at highway speeds and wonder if these will reduce that. Anyone ride at highway speeds with and without them?

RE: Fairing Air Deflectors
Well I bought the Freedom Wings and rode 300 miles this weekend with them on. This is a very nice product. When it was cool or running at high speeds I closed them. The helmet buffeting was all but gone and they kept the cool air off my knees and torso. When I was running low speeds in hot weather I opened them up for a refreshing blast of air. The unlimited adjustability of these made getting just the right mix easy. I highly reccomend these over the HD fixed version.
