Just picked mine up and rode the 20+ miles back to work...temp is 93 degrees with a 108 heat index.  I was definitely hotter coming back!  Not much difference in wind behind the fairing but I'm not running my lowers and I've got that wind deflector below my triple tree.  I'll have to do a better analysis later in the year :nixweiss:

UPDATE:  The bike is setup with no lowers and the lower trippletree half-dish wind deflector that comes with the bike installed.  I only installed one side and was surprised to find the side without the new deflector had ZERO wind coming up between the fairing and tank while the side with the new deflector had a steady albeit weak airstream going straight up between the tank and fairing. 

It may be that the idea is to shoot air up behind the windshield where there is dead air/over pressure to break up the buffeting...or maybe I'm just overthinking this :nixweiss:

Question: Does the 11SEURG come with the lower trippletree half-dish wind deflector?

Thank you for the pictures.  Ok, So my favorite web site is selling them for $ 23.96 with Shipping of $ 11.50 and no state tax. Seems like they'll be the same with picking up at the dealer and pay the state.
