I didn't realize $69.99 could make this much difference

I put the fork leg air deflectors on my 2010 RKC yesterday. They're not the most attractive things but they sure do work. Pretty much all the buffeting behind the windshield is gone. Now I'm riding in a calm pocket and there's less noise in the helmet too. Definitely worth a shot at $69.99 if you can stand the looks.

Yeah I agree with you. a buddy from work had a set that he let me use, and it made a pretty big difference for me too. It looks like crap, but it does give you more comfort.

I put them on my bike and thought they were absolutely worthless. Took them off and now they just sit.

There was a discussion not to long ago of a third party vender selling deflectors that actually didn't look that bad. I didn't note the venders name because the deflectors don't fit on SGs. But maybe someone else here remembers.

Got the MOCO ones on my RK Classic... work good and, after a while, look good too.

I put them on my Ultra and they do work. If I didn't tuck my shirt in, it would blow up to my neck. Now there is no wind, nice and calm. I also ordered a set of aftermarket ones for the wife's street glide and she says they stop her sunglasses from bouncing (used to have the straps to hold them on her head). The wind used to lift her helmet off her head. They do work IMO.
