I never even noticed them before then texasfatboy sent me a pic of them. Ya think they really make a difference? Are they really easy to install?

I have the Harley hundred dollar part, adjustable ones...

They do work good, closed in cold and or rain.. Open when hot to direct air to your torso and face if you want..

who has the lower wind deflectors that go on the lower section of the batwing? I saw the ones at the stealer that open and close. I am wondering if its worth getting the ones that open or are the standard closed ones just as good.
Thanks
I ilke 'em. I had terrible buffeting on my SG, so I added a Cee Baileys SSC windshield, and it was better, but still not good. I then added the fork air baffle, better yet, but still not there. I then added the wind deflectors, and now, with all three, I am finally happy with the wind not beating the **** out of my head at 80mph.

I did not like the standard fixed wings that came on my 07 Ultra after the weather warmed up last Spring. I bought the HD adjustable ones last Summer and love them. They are very simple to install as well. I think the newest ones do not have fixed positions and they may be the ones that won't stay where you put them.

I like the adjustable ones (stock '08 UC). It allows me to control the airflow in hot or cold weather.
