Default Freedom Wings PLUS

I was thinking of purchasing the "Freedom Wings". I noticed that at http://www.freedom-wings.com/Plus_Facts.html they have a "Freedom Wings PLUS". Has anyone installed the PLUS and if so do they make any difference?

I don't have them. but they should do the job. I modified a set of the HD chrome deflectors and they made a huge difference, no more helmet buffeting

If I had known about these I would have bought them instead.

be aware though that you will also feel more heat rising from the motor going down the road, at least I do. I removed the center fork baffle to let more air to the motor with no ill effects on buffeting.

The name is confusing but if you look at the pictures and instructions on their website the plus is another part that mounts below the Freedom Wing.
I don't think it would do much, especially if you have lowers.

Exactly what I was thinking! Thinking...didn't my wife get a box of those last night?

I just bought the Freedom Wings and the Plus today. Should be delivered and mounted on the bike this coming weekend.
I'll post my review after riding a few miles with them.
