Default Lower Wind Deflector Suggestions?

New to Harleys and mostly lurk but need some help. Purchased 58121-85B to reduce the turbulence that slips up around the the tank and up to the face on my 09 UC. The darn thing obstructs the batwing's adjustable deflectors. Other than bending the chrome tip on the lower deflectors does anyone have any suggestions? Other product etc. Thanks.

Have you tried installing the fork air baffle instead. 58520-79TC is chrome, 58520-79A is black.

That was going to be my next purchase if the lowers did not reduce the buffeting enough. Thanks for the tip. Guess I'll go ahead and get one to see how much it helps before attempting to modify the chrome lowers.
