Dont you guys have the wind deflectors on your fairings? Are the ones you want on your forks for mostly rain?

Those be it.....Send the guy a message through e-bay and ask if he's making any more black ones. Or get the unfinished ones which he sells and have them powder coated.

I just got the chrome fork deflectors, was a little skeptical about their working, but they work absolutely great! Thanks for the suggestions.

It seems like from reading this and other threads that in order to get a "smooth" flow of air with no turbulence on a SG, you have to install freedom wings, fork baffle, hard lowers, taller recurve screen, fork mounted deflectors... etc etc. By the time you are finished there is a wall between you and the road.

I don't like this "solution" and will probably buy a RK instead with no windshield and ride in the wind as a motorcycle was intended. Then if I really get the urge I can put a windshield on and have the best of both worlds. I have personally experienced the wind buffeting of the SG even with some of these accessories already on the bike.... didn't like it at all.
