Personally, I think HD took the baffle off for the same reason that they stopped installing passenger grab rails, saddlebag guard rails ('08 RK Standard), etc. and that is simply to reduce the cost of manufacturing the bike and improve profit.

RE: wierd
I put one on last winter and it sure helped with the cold air on me but I thought the engine had major issues due to the increase in sound I hear bouncing off the deflector and reduced wind noise around my head, freaked me out for a couple minutes. Same thing happened when I went to a half helmet and uncovered the ears. I took it off for the summer though as I thought it would interfere with colling on a hot day, now that I have oil temp gaugI will monitor to see actual temp change with and without.

Does anyone know the P/N for a plain old black one?

A few other swear their bikes run cooler with it too, but seems to me if it was true harley would have not stoped putting them on all models except road glide back in 01 for some reason all road glides still come with them.
