Air Deflector
Anyone have this front fork air deflector? It mounts on the back side of the lower triple tree just in front of the motor. This pic is out J&P Cycles... Does HD have a similar product?
If you have one, how does it affect the airflow?

Yes, HD makes one. Cheap too, I think my black one was 12 bucks or something. Chrome ones are a litte more. Personally, I was hoping it would do a better job. I can tell a TINY difference, but it ain't much!

WOW!!!
Stro1965 you posted a reply two minutes after the original post! Quick!!
I ride my RK Classic year-round and during the cold months I bolt on the deflectors which run down the outside of each front fork leg. These stop a lot of the air flow however, there is still some turbulence around my face. I thought this piece might fix that flow.

I had one on my 94 Electra and it worked great. Got my 04 Ultra and it didnt have one so I bought a chrome one from HD and put it on and it dont seem to work as well as it did on the 94. HD stop putting them on in 2000 and now they make ya buy them. I dont even think that HD sells the black ones, just the chrome ones at about $23.00.

I didn't notice any difference when I put on this deflector. Was trying to stop some of the wind and buffeting but nothing changed.
I'm going to get the deflectors that mount on the side of the forks and try those.
