Fork Wind deflectors
I just picked up a 2012 Electra Glide Classic. So, far, really like the bike, however I'm going to be logging a lot of highway miles. Are the chrome fork wind deflectors a good idea ? Do they make a noticeable difference in the amount of buffeting ?
What about the adjustable wind deflectors that mount on the fairing ? Are these better than the fork mounted wind deflectors ? to get the best results, should I install both ?
Sorry for all the questions, but I don't want to go through the hassle and money if they don't really do anything. One last question, do either of these solutions cause any unwanted problems ?
Thanks for any and all input.

Based on it, I ordered a set of the black. The chrome look too pimp mobile for me.

This is where I got my gloss black ones from http://www.street-glide.com/order-wi...ectors--s.html
They cured the helmet/head buffeting problem for me, and a great price.

I installed the chrome fork deflectors & the fixed deflectors at the bottom sides of my 2002 EGC. I've also installed the deflector between the forks.
I've noticed a substantial reduction of buffeting by installing these 3. No one deflector "did it all."
My $.02.
