HD's Wind Deflectors
Do these(part no.58121-85B) cause engine temps to rise in warm weather. Should they be removed for summer riding? I like the looks of them and think they would provide some protection, but I wouldn't want to remove and replace them. My bike's a 07 with no additional fuel management, it's stock.

I put the baffle on first and it helped some.I then put the fork deflectors on. Combined there was a big difference.
Last summer I took the fork deflectors off for a few days.I put them right back on.That reminded me what a great job they do.

According to the description, I take it they didn't install these from the factory past 2000?

The deflectors don't affect air flow to the motor at all so they can be left on. Once it gets hot I'll take mine off to keep me cooler though. It's just four bolts.
