Just finished installing the air deflectors for the front (Wind Deflector Kit - 57000063)
Took, what?, two minutes? hehehehe
Very easy to install...just make sure the front wheel is not locked to the side so you can insert the left deflector (if looking from a seated position on the bike). The deflector just clips to the crash bar and the gas tank mount.
Doesn't look like a Harley part number. What brand are they?

yes, they are harley branded. yes, they do work. but, they are for the road glides, not batwings.
there is a caveat though, if your bike has had the fuel tank recall done, then they will not fit directly out of the box. in my case, i just got a slightly longer bolt, and a nylon spacer to give the extra area for the deflector to hook on to.
Upon arriving home with my new RGC two months ago, I snapped on a set, along with a 12" WindVest shield. The wind does not beat me up at all. Oh yeah, I also added that $30 half moon shaped chrome thing under the fairing, but I can't remember the HD part number. For those considering an inexpensive comfort improvement, I say give this 2-pc part a try. Worst case scenario is you are out $30. The only other anti-buffeting solution I've heard of is lowers.
