I read about this on here, but can't recall what it is. It deflects the air from UNDER the fairing on a E-glide. Anyone know what i'm talking about, or have a part #? Just bought a 12 Ultra.

One of the first things I installed on my '12 Ultra. You'll hear varying opinions but I think it helps a lot with the blast of air that gets under the fairing. The MoCo says to take it off for summer use but I don't know anyone who does.

i've got one on my sg.. main difference is when riding in the rain the drops don't travel up the front of the tank and fly into your face from under the fairing/windshield...

I made my own out of .032 aluminum sheet metal and painted black..
It's a custom size a little larger than HD's

I know you're going to buy it anyway, but your money would be much better spent buying toilet paper. That thing does nothing but remove $ from your wallet. Totally ineffective wind-wise which is the reason the Moco omits them from production.

I disagree completely, it makes a lot of difference on my 11 RKC. Maybe it doesn't on the fairing bikes but it sure helped mine.
