I think that Kuryakn has a better adjustable air deflector.

Mid frame deflector.....a lot of comments in both directions on those.  Trap even more heat around that rear cylinder but help to save the riders thigh. :nixweiss:

Same with the fork air baffle.....pros and cons.

Do a search on each of them......they've all three been beat to death on this forum.

I use all 3 on my '10 SESG and would do it again.
Some have had issues fitting other brands of mid-frame heat deflectors
The front air baffle is something that used to be standard on all baggers (if made of plastic) for years. Wouldn't ride without it.

I have the Harley adjustable air deflectors and they are awesome.  I can't believe that there would be much difference between the Harley ones and aftermarkets.

So I added the Mid Deflectors, BIG difference in heat on the legs!! The Air baffle is worth the money. But the jury is out on the adjustable fairing deflectors, I can't even say what my wife said about them when she saw them. I only have one mounted as of now just because I am not sure what I think. I can feel the difference, but more in the body where the wind isn't as noticeable. Guess I have to make a decision before Street Vibes this weekend.

Up north in the 40's, the batwing deflectors make a big difference, when you open them vs close them. Yes, it mostly effects the body, especially if you have the stock windshield.

The adjustable bat wing deflectors do make a difference. Does take some getting used to on the way they look. I put mine on before I went to Daytona. I actually took them off on the way and could tell the difference. I put them back on and have gotten used to them now. They were open all summer though.

I love the adjustable air deflectors - I suffered a large amount of helmet buffeting from air coming from below/side of the fairing. Once I put these on, it stopped and now my pea brain doesn't rattle around in my skull.

One problem though: BOTH adjustable air deflectors are cracking at the upper hinge of the transparent deflector. I was wondering if any others are experiencing the same problem. You'll see a white crack clear across the cup which holds the hinge I circled in the picture.. I only have roughly 1000miles on the deflectors.
