Installing front fork baffle

I put a chrome one on my RK to keep my beard from blowing upward. Not very much noticeable difference.

LOL. That is pretty much why I did mine. My goatee goes up my nose when I am riding. Haven't had a chance to try it out to see if it works.

Well I hope it works for you. Actually, there is some difference with mine (I don't think the hairs are tickling my nose now) but it has been on long enough now that I do not remember exactly how it was. Not an expensive mod anyway.

Monstermile when you get it installed take the bike for ar ide at 65/70 mph and check to see if the bike feels like it is loose. I installed one on my 06 and it worked as far as knocking down the wind from my face but at highway speeds it felt like it wanted to lift the front end of the bike making it feel unstable. I took it off and the feeling went away. just something to watch for.

Did the chrome version, came with the bolts, did the tap to clean out the paint. Didn't do squat as far as wind or buffeting (dosn't really bother me though). Intrested to see if you feel a change. I mainly added it to see if I could hear my radio better (no!!). I have noticed it keep bugs off the bottom of the tank and front valve cover........... \\;
