Default Air deflectors
Anyone had any luck with adjustable air deflectors?

Can you please be a little more specific? I've had great luck with mine. Open them, they let more air in... close them, they keep air out.

Just not sure what you are looking for.

I never open mine up.
But I could if I wanted to and that's why I got the adjustable ones.

Sorry guys. I'm talking about buying some after market deflectors that go on the fairing at the bottom. Adjustable.
Thanks!

I use them all the time. Helps keep things cool, especially with lower fairings.

Oh THOSE! Open them, they let air in, close them, they don't.
My scoot came with them and there's really not that much difference. It might help keep the engine a smidgen cooler....

I had the Freedom wings and 3 miles into the first trip, one of the screws fell out. Not sure if it was my fault or not. I switched to the Kuryakyn and never looked back. They have over 10k miles and are easy to use, help move air around the rider and help block the air when the temps drop. I guess I am a satisfied customer.
