Ordered mine from JES customs today, cant wait to put them on and see if it cures the buffetting issue. So far I have tried the windspitter wind screen and fork baffle. Those two have made it to where I can see without blurry vision over 60mph but I still get my helment knocked around pretty good. I am hoping these deflectors are the final piece of the puzzle.

On my RK, I've had the JES deflectors on for some time now and the seem to work pretty good; however, I road a buddies RK with the HD deflectors and I'm not so sure they don't work a little better. My concern is how low the JES deflectors start and go down. There is a large gap that the HD deflectors seem to fill right above the turn signals. I've got a used set of the HD's and may do a test between the two. I'll let you know how it works for me. As for looks, the JES hands down. Road test coming soon.

I have the H-D ones on my Roadking. I also had a set on my '90 FLHTC. They work well and I like the look , just me I guess. I have not put the fork baffle on the King , yet, but I did have it on the '90.

I noticed the top wings are laid down compared to the HD deflectors. I have the HD deflectors on my RKC. I even put some on my 08 UC but I had to bend their ears down to clear. I may not be in the main stream but I like the looks of them, and they work.

If you're having any clearance issues with the deflectors, then you probably have them mounted on the wrong side of the bike. Don't ask me how I know. I went through it too, tinking off the engine guard, didn't fit right, didn't really work. Swap them side for side and see if they work better.
