great add on...got mine awhile back at Christmas....used them this winter and it helped keep some of that cold air off right off the bat. had similar product for my yamaha. the lower deflectors are the answer for a lot of the buffetting.

If your worried about not enough air getting to the engine, just install the HD Front Fork Baffle. I installed them both at the same time, and it made a HUGE difference

I've been thinking about getting the JES wind deflectors, but I can't figure out which ones to go with now. I have a black bike but just got the chrome front end kit on. Before the chrome front end I would have went with the black ones. Now I don't know.

Anybody have pictures with a black bike with the chrome front end and with either the painted of chrome style deflectors?

I have a black pearl SG with the chrome front end. I had my fork deflectors chrome for awhile but to me, there was to much chrome up there. I've since powder coated them black and I think the front end look a lot better now. If I remember, I try to post a pic within the next few days.

Mine has chrome legs, JES fork deflectors powder coated Black denim, and PC'd cowbells as well.

Well, I took the JES deflectors off the King and tried the HD deflectors. I won't have to do that again...the HD's worked GREAT. Much smoother air. JES looked better but oh well...

My Ultra doesn't have a chrome front end ...... yet, but if it did, I would still have gone with the JES black deflectors.
Here is a pic of mine. They blend perfectly with the lowers.

Thanks to the guys that posted pictures. Do any of you guys have pictures from the side to see how much of the fork leg it covers?

Just installed the JES deflectors and holy cow do they work. Buffeting is gone, I ran up to 75 mph with a full face helmet with the face shield up and it's was perfect.
