Default Air deflector question

Will air deflectors on my 08 street glide prevent air flow from coming up under the full face helmet of my passenger.

The baffle under the forks helped stop a lot of wind coming over the tank on my Ultra. Don't think it would affect the passenger much but haven't heard of passenger having buffeting issues unless they were wearing a helmet that was too big.

I had the bakerbuilt air deflectors on my 04 ultra and my bride wants them added to the 09. She says they took all the wind out of her face.
