Default Chrome Front Fork Air Baffle

Does anyone have this on their touring bike? It claims to help deflect cold air, does it work?

Have one. Just don't think it works as great as some believe it works.

I have it on My 09 Ultra, I think it helps with the wind buffiting that I was getting at some hyway speeds. Haven't noticed much on the engine cooling. JMO

Was wondering if it can be left on year round or should it be removed during summer riding? How would it effect engine heat during the summer? Anyone know?

I have one and will agree that it doesn't help much with cooling, but sure helps decrease wind buffeting. Good accessory.

Yes it works on my ultra. It helped with buffeting and wind in general. It is not a perfect part, but it is money well spent.

Put it on, leave it on, helps with the wind, also helps when caught in the rain, not as much water comes up from this area.....plus it looks good.
