Most effective Fork Mount Wind Deflectors
I'm looking to try a set of Fork Mount Wind Deflectors for my '04 RK Classic to try to help eliminate buffeting around my helmet. Are all of the different brands the same in terms of effectiveness? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Picked up a set HD chrome " Fangs " . They took me awhile to get used to , just the appearance of them , but I won't ever remove them . It dropped the buffeting down by 70 - 80 % .

Thanks for the replies.
I also see good things about these. The HD look nicer though.

I got some aftermarket very triangular looking ones in a deal with some other stuff but hated the look ( never even rode with them) so took them off and installed some genuine HD ones that look much nicer. At first I didnt know if I could get used to the look but now I dont even notice.
Bonus is they cut down the bobblehead wobble by a good 75% so they are staying on!

The Harley units are arguably better looking, but it's not like I'm staring at them as I'm riding....function before form for me.

Here's another vote for the HD ones. JES makes some good stuff, but I think the HD ones look better. HOWEVER, if you put passing lamps on your Street Glide, the Harley ones won't fit without serious modification. The JES ones will.

I have been pretty happy with the HD fork mounted wind deflectors. They took away most, not all of the wind blast coming from under the tank. I wear a full face helmet and it knocked down a lot of the buffeting.
