Too many server redirects. If it's the baffle on the bottom of the trees, yes, it works quite well....

My '93,'96,'03, and '99 all have/ had them, from the factory. Can't say they do much more then direct air down towards the cylinders. Mine weren't chrome tho.,,

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

No experience. But most swear by them.

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.

Works well on both road King and Ultra. Here in Texas it is recommended to remove during summer months.
