Two schools of thought on that one, keeps the engine cooler in the hot weather and stops the wind buffeting over the tank. I leave mine on year round, works for me.

Yep great investment to reduce the airflow from down under.

RE: Fork Air Baffle

According to the harley site, it fits road kings. I wonder if anyone is using one.
I am trying to reduce the buffeting on my tank area, and I thought that the wind deflectors were the only way to stop this.
Any thoughts?

I added one to me Ultra and it does help. Same on a friend's RG. Should work on your RK as well.

RE: Fork Air Baffle

I believe, as far as Ultras go, that the 2001 year model was the last to have the baffle. My 2002 Ultra did not come with one, but a good friend of mine had one on his 2001Ultra.
