For me, the change was very minimal, if any. Maybe it eliminated air hitting my mouth and chin. But that's about it. The fangs however, work amazingly. They just elevate the engine temp, a lot... Ever since I removed them, I haven't seen over 300 temps yet. Not even close.

Not a scientific report, as I don't have the FP3 installed, but by placing my unclaibrated fingers down by the cylinders I did feel hot air blowing behind them
We make a leather heat shield that works and is easy to install .. If we can answer any questions just let us know ..

That monstrous factory air cleaner assembly on the M8 Touring bikes is a lot of the problem with heat as it covers the right side of the engine. I put a S&S Stealth with the factory outer cover and noticed a big difference in felt heat.

I have a triple tree wind deflector on every engine harley has produced beginning with the tc88 and I have never noticed any increase in engine temps, not saying it isn't so but I'm leaving mine on

I was told by my dealership, the factory removed them as they cause the motor to get hotter. Personally l think they removed them as a stock item to get the customer to buy them as an accessory. Marketing 101.
