Default Lower Fairing Question

Do lower fairings on an Ultra or EG Classic have an effect on a passenger? I'm looking for opinions on whether they keep some air off your passenger or create more buffeting back there?

I'm debating on whether to add them for some highway rides this year.

Thanks,

Jim

My passenger doent notice much of a difference either way. I know that more air will flow with them off and last summer I removed them once temps got into the mid 80's. She told me that she couldnt tell either way.
