Default Pic Request: Front Fork Baffle
I did a search but no pic found and the ones that did have pics posted must have expired as they just had a red "X" there.

Can someone post a pic of that front fork baffle for the Touring models? Thanks!

Yeah it's not a great view in the catalog pic. Trying to envision what it looks like. Even it's shape I'm not sure of by the catalog pics... Is it curved as in does it wrap around and deflect or is it a straight piece. I've stared at the pics til I got dizzy and still not clicking with me! Maybe I'm tired? lol

It bolts to the back side of the lower tree, and deflects air downward towards the front cylinder. It is concave on the under side.

The reason pics aren't usually posted of this, is it really isn't noticeablt. In order to see it from the fron, you have to look up from the front fender:




this is the side view:



This is the view with the front fork turned - you can see it here, but it doesn't stand out or anything.



Hope this helps.

Her is a gratuitous pic of my bike and if you look at the bottom, you can see the chrome fork baffle between the forks, at the bottom of the triple tree.
