I recently installed one on mine. I don't think it afects the engine much, but it makes a bit of a difference on the wind blowing up along the sides of the tank. Reduces hot wind hitting your face from below.

Black ones come stock on the Road Glide and I prefer them to the chrome ones. Cheaper too!

Yes it's the one.
Yes you will want to chase the threads first with a 1/4-20 tap.
Install is easy afterwards.
5 minutes tops with the tap and wrench.
Now that I have one , I won't be taking it off.
It works......

Five minutes to put on? That's if you spend four minutes looking at it!

Didn't notice much difference on or off.

I have an EGC.
Maybe it makes a difference on bikes with lower fairings and not without
fairings. Or vice versa. Anyone know?

Put one on my Ultra to try and stop the water pixies dancing on top the fuel tank in the rain.
