RE: Fork Air Baffle - Do you remove each summer?
If you don't mind me asking, what does the baffle look like and where is it installed? Any pictures? I've only had my Ultra for a few months now, so still new to the Glide family. Thanks, bennie.

I a$$-u-me we are talking about this: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444184599 9&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302290755&A SSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302290755&bmUID=1 203082440261&bmLocale=en_US
I just bought it yesterday and ironically am getting ready to install it in a few minutes...My assumption was this baffle would reduce some of the air flow between the batwing and the fairing lowers that hits me on the knees. Additionally, I a$$-u-me it will redirect the airflow downward to the cylinders and improve cooling.
Anyone care to comment on my opinions or your personal experience with this baffle?

Thanks, that's what I thought. Didn't see how it wouldcause damage leaving it on. However, wanted to hear it from you guys ... better safe than sorry.

When I bought mine the parts guy never said anything about taking it off in the warmer months. I was just planning on leaving mine on year round.
