Default Air vent for fairing


I have been looking at the air vents that go at the bottom
of the fairing .They also open and close.
Wondering if anybody uses them and what you think,
Thanks

Are you talking about these?

I have the Freedom Wings and they work great, if this is what you're looking for. HD and Kuryakyn also make similar products.

I traded in a Gold Wing for my '08 RG. The Wing had a windshield vent and I loved it. It reduced back pressure, but the best part about it was that on a hot day you could get a controlled amount of fresh air coming at you. I've ordered a Clearview shield with the vent for my RG.

I had the dark smoked adjusable air vents (part #58156-08) added to my SG when I bought it last December.They did seem to keep some of the cold air off on the morning commutes in January, February, and March. I like the way they follow the contour of the batwind fairing. I don't care too much for the looks of the other style (part #57804-07), but that's just me.

I have one Clearview screen for my Kawasaki Concourse. Excellent except it lets it some rain. Will be ordering a Clearview screen for the EG this weekend and will get one with the vent. Also have Dragon Wings on the EG- Fantastic

I'm using Dragon Wings & love 'em. Close them off in the winter for better wind protection, then open them up for the summer for fresh air. Definitely worth the money.

I replaced the fixed standard equip. wings on my 07 Ultra with the HD adjustable ones last Summer and wouldn't do without them, Summer or Winter. However, I do like the way the new models look.
