Smile Wind buffeting issue might be solved

I got my new wind deflectors in yesterday and did a test fit today.
If they work I will post riding results.

Those should work great. Are the original Harley parts? How long did they take to install?

They worked for me and riding is so much nicer now. One of the better mods I'd done so far.

I’ve also made that mod, but I got the polar white version it actually deflects 10% more wind and adds 10 ft lb of torque. Let us know how your ride est goes.

The snow is all gone today, but Cabin Fever is still here, so Old Dawgs just look for a way to fix issues that effected us in the Fall.
Roll Safe !!
