Best fork deflectors?
Ok now that it's starting to cool off in New England, well not today it's 90'.. Whats the best fork deflectors to help keep the cold air off my knees? I saw some recently that are curved?

The new HD ones are curved. They look much better (IMO) than the old ones.
I have a set on my RKC and I am for sure not keeping them on because of riding in cold weather. More for the redirection of air to lessen buffeting. Stille get plenty of air on my legs. But, I like they way they look.
Check the HD parts catalog, you'll see them.

I doubt if any of these have been wind-tunnel tested to give us definitive numbers for comparison! The 'best' is the one you like the look of most, as they all seem to give improved comfort according to reports on them.

I swear by the curved Harley deflectors. They look great on my Electra Glide Classic and pretty much eliminated the air behind my fairing. I do have bad knees that do not like the cold air. Since I have the Classic snapping a set of Harley's soft lowers on my engine guard pretty much looks after the rest of the cold air on my knees. Once the morning air warms up I can quickly pull of the soft lowers and throw them back in a bag to get a little more air back.
