Default Wind blowing up my coat
I have an 06 Electra Glide. I have wind hitting and blowing up my coat. Is there anything I can put on that will quit this? Thanks

I put a fork baffle on my Ultra and it made a big difference. Check out the lower forum.

+3....Had the same issue. The baffle reduced it by about 80%. Barely noticeable now.
The baffle is pretty inexpensive and goes on in about 10 minutes. You have a choice of chrome or black. Just make sure to run a thread tap in the 2 mounting holes to remove the paint from them.
I recall it's a 1/4 " X 20 tap. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

+4 on the fork baffle, stopped the wind from coming up and around the tank.

Does the fork baffle reduce cooling air to the engine??

Have a fork baffle on my SG can't say that I can tell the difference with or without.

According to our local service manager, that is MOCO's reasoning for no longer putting them on as standard equipment.I think they still put them on the Road Glides. My guess would be that they stopped putting them on as standard equipment to save money.
