Got it, it works. Also added the adjustable wind wings on the side of the batwing, and a Cee Baileys SSC windshield. Works well now.

Is it easy to put this on myself? Do I need to take the front end apart or can I just screw it on as easy as the chrome tail light cover is to put on?
Just want to know before I buy it because I don't want to pay the dealer to put it on.
Thanks

If you have ever held a screw driver or wrench in your hand, you can do it.

My air baffle came in Christams wrapping... I can't tell a difference with or without it. On the plus side, it wasn't my money wasted on this thing!!!!

You might have to go faster. I notice the difference above 80 mph. Since I take the same freeway to and from work everyday I could tell on the EG Classic. It helps with or without soft lowers.

It might make a difference how tall you are, what size windshield, or what kind of helmet you have. The baffle was made to remove only one source of air, not all.

For the $20 and 15 minutes to install, it was worth the effort. I'm not sure if it helped that much, but it didn't hurt. You need to use a tap to ream out the paint so the screws go in easily. Would have been nice to know and I didn't havea tap.Otherwise you need to carefully use a lot of force to slowly turn the screws in.
