are you talking about what's called the fork air baffle? if so, you may know that they were on all roadglides till i think 07 or 08 and then they no longer came with them. it's the steel one that screws onto the rear of the lower triple tree. if that's the part you're mentioning, then yes, they do work.

I put one on my 08 Ultra SE3 when I removed the lower fairings, and I did not like it at all. I find it directs hot air up the front sides of the tank area onto your face at low speeds in summer and same problem with cold air in winter.

My dealer has a CVO on the floor, there was a set of the deflectors in bag in the tour pak.
They must want you to put them on if you go out for a ride without the lowers.

lp put a set on his bike and said they work great. I called my dealer today and ordered a set, won't get them till next week sometime but lp is a straight shooter and if he says they work then they do.
I put the old air baffle on my sg and couldn't tell much difference but I put my hand in the area that these go and could tell that air comes up from that area so I am pretty excited about trying these out.

I like 'em well enough to leave them on. I happen to use the Kel Tek belt clip on my little .380. I usually just leave my t-shirt untucked with my piece hooked onto the belt, barrel stuffed into my front pocket.
When I got the new RG I noticed that my t-shirt was being sucked toward the fairing so hard that it was stretched tight on the sides and I was printing, bad. Not any more with these flaps installed. My T just flutters some in the breeze that seems a lot more like my old Road King now.
