Default Finley Got the wind under control
2013 StreetGlide like the bike hate the wind buffeting . I have tried a number of windshields with little luck . So I bought the Fork mount Wind deflectors (H-D) and a 7 inch Wind Splitter shield also (H-D) .


Put both on today and road a little over 100 miles . Can not believe the difference . I am now setting in next to dead still air at 70 MPH .

The earlier "Fangs" were pointed. The latest version curved, and I think looks better. The quality of the chrome is much better also. Same price.
