Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I will be installing that puppy when I get home. We're on our 8th straight day of 100+ temps here and it gets mighty hot riding in those temps. But hey, it's August in Alabama and I'm a native.I think I'm sold based on your replies.

 

anyone got a part # for the chrome one?

Here ya go.. 58520-79TC

 

Yep, one of the best mods I have put on.....

 

added mine a month ago noticed the difference also a lot of questions about what is it nice piece of chrome for the price also pops a lot of chrome in that area.

 

If you are gonna put the baffle on, you may consider chasing the threads with a tap first. The holes on mine were pretty bound up. It took some patience with the tap but I'm sure it saved me a lot of heartache.

 

If anything, I think the thing directs more air at your motor. Also seems to keep the front of my gas tank a lot cleaner.

 

Thanks for the info on this part. I have the same problem with my beard and mustache blowing upwards into my nose!

 

Good piece of gear for your bike and the chrome looks cool. It works!
