I like them. They cured the buffeting for me and I think they have a nostalgic classic look to them that I am looking for.

I've had mine on for one season and it's a love/hate relationship. Great at reducing the buffeting but brought back the right leg heat a bit as they block the air coming past the right side of the engine. My less turbulent head and face says keep them on but my right leg says take 'em off.

Whether you like the looks or not, they are functional. But, before installing, tape off the chrome underneath, or you may have a very rude awakening when you take them off in warmer weather, and find out the underlying chrome has been marred.

Don't ask me how I know...
