Incidentially, I have seen a lot of guys talking about different windshields. I can make anyone any size/color windshield. My experience (career) was with Corian (counter top stuff) and cutting/polishing plastic is a sinch for me. It would be an easy "can-do" for any DF Fairing owners.... Just putting it out there. I would only charge what it costs me, in hard terms. I [highlight]had to re-make mine after having it broken out on Cripple Creek...[/highlight]
NH
How'd it get broken?

Love a pic of yours [smiley=worthless.gif]

As a followup to this saga, I wanted to report on the durability (7,671.8 mile trip) of my DF Fairing and lowers.

Denim,
[highlight]Another source of the airflow under your windshield is the lack of a deflector between the forks.  MOCO removed it on our bikes due to engine overheating.  I've had 2 stealers say not to do it, but now that I have a digital temp gauge and some ride time without it, now I can compare and see if it has a "real" effect.[/highlight]
Hope this helps,
Steve

Hey Steve, I was reading back through the earlier posts and re-found your comments on the fork deflector....what's your prognosis?

I had a fork deflector on Elvis along with my Hoppe fairing riding through the Mojave and it didn't make the engine run hotter as far as I could tell. Had a temp guage in the oil and it ran 218 at the high noon in Gila Bend AZ

Big B, is that the standard HD Road King baffle/deflector that you are using?

i thought the baffle was removed because of the chance of it fitting the fender on our bikes due to the front suspension setup

I believe what Brian is referring to is H-D part number 58520-79TC, Chrome Front Wheel Air Baffle Kit.

I believe what Brian is referring to is H-D part number 58520-79TC, Chrome Front Wheel Air Baffle Kit.  I have one installed on my SEEG, and it does seem to reduce the amount of air flowing up between the fairing and the tank.  I don't see any negative affect on engine cooling; in fact when you look at it on the bike it would appear to direct more air down to the engine, not less.  It could increase front end lift at high speeds, but I haven't noticed any problems up to 100 mph.....

Jerry
I have this on mine also (Jerry you probably already guessed that since it is chrome ;)) and concur. Someone had asked me also if it made the bike run hotter, but I haven't noticed that and thought as Jerry did that it directs more air to/across the motor.

'd00d,

I almost added a comment to that post about asking your opinion, since the part is chrome I was certain you would have one. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]
