I installed one of those "ashtrays" on my Road King; didn't seem to help at all.

What really worked for me was the fork fangs.

I added JES fork fangs and the triple tree as I was having the same issue. The fork deflectors worked well. The triple tree was minimal but helped.

Well, the $16 triple tree ashtray thing went on easy...very minimal difference.

I put the DK cooling deflector wings on and it didn't make much of a difference on my 14 Limited
