Well, it was really windy, so I only went seventy miles.  Not a good day to make any deterimination.  However, I could hear the radio again.

Well, I just got home from a 6 day, 2,000 mile road trip and I can say without a doubt these things work. Got caught in a couple of down pours and had no water run up and over the tank from the front. Wore a full face for a lot of the ride and had no buffeting around my head, which before, made it difficult to see because the helmet was bounching around so much.....................

I'm SOLD!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone has given these a try yet? If so your impression.

OK, I'll put on my Captain Obvious cape here.  I bought a set and modified them to fit my Street Glide.  I then took it out for a test spin.  They didn't do anything.  I stopped about halfway through my loop and took them off.  No difference.  All the way up to 80 MPH.  If there's anyone in the area or willing to come to the dealer in Davenport, IA, they are welcome to have these for a test.  I have removed the tabs that clip to the fuel tank mounts and added a small hole to use a zip-tie to secure it to the crash bar.  Hey, I had fun for an afternoon for $30.  Better than I probably would have done at the craps table!

It's official. I'm a DOOFUS.  I was looking at these 2 "flaps" in my goodies bag that came with the FLTRUSE.  I was sitting there thinking, "Now where in the hell do I put these 2 mudflaps?"  Like I said, it's official.  So tonight I will install and then wait until the snow melts in April to test them.  DOOFUS

LOL, don't feel bad Jim.  If my dealer hadn't of already had them installed, I wouldn't of had a clue what they were for either.  You will see a difference when you put them on.

I have had mine on for over 5k miles now.
I think they work.
I have the tank recall mod.
I just snapped them on and pushed them against the bolt head.  
In over 5k Miles they have never tried to leave the bike.
No wire ties
No mods.
Easy to take off when I wash the beast!  


 I think I am going to try a set of the Sancho wings? Looks like a good product.
The name doesn't thrill me! :nixweiss:
Sounds like what your fairy Sancho wear while hes banging you old lady and your in jail!!!!! :nixweiss:
