Anyone using the Fairing wings/air deflectors ?

I purchased a set of these unfortunatly its too dam cold to try em out but for you guys already using them what is your experience ? I have the fork deflectors I'm wondering if this is duplicating the job that the fork deflectors are doing.

I have them on my 09 SG. They helped out a bit but not a drastic improvement.

I have both fairing and fork deflectors. Fairing deflectors don't do much. The New style fork mounted deflectors do a great job of keeping the updraft off your chest and virtually eliminate beard lift.

I the adjustable ones and like them. You can direct air flow up towards your body on hot days. I also have the fork deflectors, but only put them on in the winter. Regardless, I don't think you'd be overdoing it using both.

Mine are adjustable and ya can sure tell if they are opened or closed. I think they do a lot.

i have the adjustable ones, they came on the bike. they definitely do a good job of pushing air at you on a hot day if you put them that way.. i really have no reference as to if they block more air. dont really like the way they look but thats subjective

I'm using the Kuryakyn Dragon Wings along with the HD Half Moon fork baffle.

That and the right height of windshield help a whole lot.

I had them were ok I found I never opened them, after I removed the kury fork baffles cause the lowers wouldn't work with them plus I wanted more air to the motor ended up with this set up perfect now no buffeting once again can wear my ball cap at 80
