It helps keep the air from whipping up over your gas tank.

when i got the 09 I swapped mine from the evo ( they used to be std.).
my riding Pal with an '11 FLHTK, was having some trouble with wind in the cockpit- I put one on his bike.
and didn't tell him.
after 500 miles I asked him how the wind was- he said bad, like always...he didn;t know it was there, didn;t notice a difference
what WILL make a difference is fairing adjustable wind deflectors- use them to direct controlled air into the cockpit- that will equalize pressure and there will be less air coming up from below or the sides.
and windscreen choice is crucial

I installed the fork wind deflectors on my streetglide and now I don't get hardly any buffeting from wind. Here is the link:

It may not work on a bike with hard lowers on it already though.
