My wife has been unhappy with the heat off the engine and the wind buffeting. I just put the Harley Goodies floorboard extenders on and a new windshield. Just back from a test ride. The extenders work great. The Clearview recurve with vent works great too!

When Mama is happy then maybe she will make me happy! 54 years old and still a hound dog.

In spreading your legs out just a little bit more, the wind gets between your legs and the engine and blows the heat off you. Maybe the new window helps with head buffet. But those extenders work, put mine on a couple weeks ago, and its 90 ish down here every day.

I would like the extenders for myself if for no other reason than because the "Football" air cleaner is in the way a bit when I try to get my right leg comfortable! LOL
I never thought about them helping with any heat issues.. or buffeting.

Well that leaves me out, my legs are too short to move out, in fact I had my seat modified to move my legs closer so I could reach the ground.
