Does anybody have a road king and use the chrome wind deflector from harley or any other ones such as the one from custom chrome or kuryakyn? I guess what I want to know is are they functional in blocking wind that comes from under/ the windshield and up aroung the tank? Or are they more cosmetic and not very good in blocking wind? Any help will be appreciated

 

i just bought a pair cause its starting to cool off here. i love them, im not crazy about the look but, everybody else loves the look that sees my bike. makes the front end fatter. they block a ton of wind that comes up. they let the engine heat warm you up a bit. they give your body a huge break from the wind. i would definatly reccomend them. i also bought the short tinted windshield from harley. love that look, and the 2 work even better together.

 

I have a set on my 03 Heritage Classic and like you at first I did not like the looks of them.

But they are extremely functional at blocking wind. Best $50 bucks I spent on that bike. I leave them on year round. You catch more wind with the front end, meaning you can feel it in gusty conditions, but after a while I don't notice it any more.

 

I HAD THEM ON MY LAST ROAD KING AND THEY WORK GREAT AND LOOK GOOD.

 

i got em.

Ugly as home-made soap, but very good at what they do.

Totally stopped the buffeting around my head. this time function wins out over form.

What they all said.... well worth the money. Wife says she gets a little more buffeting between 60-65 mph when she's on back, but nothing unbearable. I'll leave mine on year 'round.
