It made a difference for me. I don't have one on my 09 Ultra and I think I need one. Might buy the black one since the economy's worse now....

The Dealer told me this baffle could cause engine overheating during the summer months, has anyone experienced this?

No! Since you are directing more air at the engine that statment seems contra even if it is hot air. Of coarse these new engines run so hot who knows.

I have one on my 06 SG and I noticed a difference, since it's cooler now, but I plan on removing it in the summer to give the top of the front cyl better cooling.

To me it's not that big of a deal to ride with a little more air in the summer, but I sure do like it (baffle) in the winter. Every little bit helps in the winter.

But I read somewhere on this site that the MoCo quit putting them on (stock) cause of the heating issues.

I never thought of that.
My dealer is so small, it seems like I pretty much have to order anything I want. So "hello internet".
