I have had them on my bike for about two months now and I'm very pleased with them. I did have the HD deflectors before but what swayed me was the operational vents and they are much more pleasing to the eye. They take about two minutes to install and then there is two set screws to adjust and that's it. The set screws determine how easily the vents slide open or closed. I have no regrets and would purchase then again. I hope this helps!

Thats the way I feel about them as well, they are all fugly, but these actually look kinda cool I think.

From the pics I've seen the Kuryakyn look the best.
My main question, do they help stop wind buffeting from coming up from under the gas tank??
I love my new Windshield but, I get a lot of wind coming up my chest and hitting me in the chin, makes my glasses wiggle like hell.
I don't have any problem with the wind from the top of the shield, just from under it, would be great if the wind deflector would help...Thanks.

You make a valid point on the subject of where is the wind coming from. I think this is typical of wind buffeting problems other bike owners experience. Its that wind that comes up from underneath and goes directly into your face. Personally, I would accept a little funky/fugly if the thing actually worked.
I find myself riding mostly without the windshield now. The irony is the shield is supposed to stop the wind and it does in many respects, but other issues pop up like buffeting and turbulance in traffic. With a shieldless bike, aerodynamic helmet and leather (wind cutting) jacket, I ride in clean air up to about 65mph to 70mph. Its also more fun but not during bug season.

I put the front wheel air baffle kit on mine over the winter & 300 miles so far so good. I got tired of the wind coming up at me between the tank & windshield.
Hope this cure your problem

I tried it, on three different Ultras now. The first one, a 98 didn't really have a problem to begin with. On the 08, no difference that I could tell. On the 09, I still have wind coming over the lowers and over the tank.
