Put it on my 05 and could tell a major difference with the vented lowers and w/s. Standard on my 09, just changed to the chrome model. Have a black one if anyone wants to try it cheap...$15 shipped CONUS....I think they make a big difference not so much in the air but in the turbulance from below, especially on fairing equipped bikes.

NOTE: You won't find this on the H-D website any longer, however, Chicago Harley has it right here: http://www.chicagoharley.com/shop/ad...20-79A&x=0&y=0 for only $10.16. Get 'em while they're hot fellas...

Thanks for this link. I just ordered one as well. For $19 shipped, it's cheaper than the chrome one at $24.94 and worth a try.

Me too.
Heck, if this mod is any improvement it will be worth the $$.
Kinda like the Harley Goodies floor board extensions...great mod for a very reasonable price on that too.
Plus the black one just blends in so well......

Have the chrome one on my Ultra. No problems as it keeps the wind below outta my face.

It works,

I can't tell the difference when it's on or off but since it's chrome I leave it on. <g>
I have the Freedom Wings and Freedom Wings "Plus" and the "Plus" do reduce buffeting coming from under the tank.
