i added the fork baffles the mid frame baffle and the wings to the batwing just last week. don't know which one did the trick or if all had something to do with cutting down the baffleing but it is alot better now.

I think the instructions that come with the lower fairings say to remove it.
I have had it on and off several times and dont really notice a difference.
It is off now.

Default it's worth the time and $25

I mounted one on my FXSTC, it's worth the time and $25.

I recently installed the baffel in between the forks and have to admit, it really cuts the airflow over the tank like most have stated. I went for a little 400 mile ride yesterday and notice a ton of hot air comming from the rear cylinder hitting me in the legs. Never noticed this much heat before so I am attributing it to the new airdam forcing air over the cylinders.

my air baffle stays on all the time too. i think it probably does help to cool the motor. as it does force more air to pass over the engine.
