Default Kuryakyn Fork Deflectors?

Anyone tried the Kuryakyn offering? They look to be better aerodynamically than the fangs.

This winter I went with JES Customs fork deflectors, some time back I put the ashtray on and it helped, the fork mounts really helped, glad I did both, will be taking them off soon for summer

I had the triple tree deflector on both of my previous bikes and they worked great. Too bad they don't make something similar to fit the '14s.

Default A Vote for Soft Lowers

IMHO, the soft lowers are the first thing to try. For one, they require no install or tools, just a couple snaps and clips (speaking the Desert Dawgs brand), and can be removed in seconds. They can be stored in your bags when not in use. They will tamp down updrafts (those coming up your legs and under your chin) and keep you warmer, but also (as noted by others) are extremely handy if you hit rain.

Uncle Larry mentioned the engine heat...not true of the Desert Dawgs due to the patented design that does allow some air into and flow through the engine. Unlike some other brands, there is NO temp restriction, and they don't affect handling. I won't go anywhere without them nowadays... http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/harl...n-rain-guards/
