Default RK-Fork defectors
Put the H-D curved fork deflectors on my RKC and rode over 600 mls. with them.I have to say I'm impressed,was surprised that they made as much difference as they do.Head buffeting is gone with these on,it's nice to see things clear and not in a constant state of movement as before,sunglasses stay steady now also.Wanted to give them 2 thumbs up and give a quick review for others.If you put them on you will like them,I just wish I had known about them a year ago!

I put them on my Street Glide. They definately work, but with added wind noise. Noise I'm willing to live with to reduce buffeting. I'm not taking them off my bike. Heck I even like the way they look.

I also have them on my RKC, they do a nice job. In addition, I just added Desert Dawg soft lowers. Seems like a great setup for cooler tempts.
