If you decide to install the fork baffle, which BTW is not really visible, you had better run a 1/4-20 tap in the mounting holes first, as they are pretty much clogged up with powder coat. If you decide to mount it as is, you will only get so far and then you will be fighting the install. FWIW.

Thanks for the heads up on cleaning the paint I would probably not done that first thing. These things are cheap enough I will try it and if it doesn't work I will by some more hair bunji's as this thing just want's to keep growing.

I have the same bike and the wind coming from the lower tank area drives me crazy, my beard stays in my nose and eyes 100% of my rides. Does the baffles cut down on the lower wind blasting up your chin?
