Ride report;

Hit the highway last night.  Cruising at 75 mph.  BSR said ride was much better.  Her feet were a lot cooler, which hot feet is one of the things that always bothered her on this bike.  We were also able to talk to each other much easier (still trying to decide if that is good or bad  :shocked2:).  One thing I really noticed is the wind I felt didn't really change between 75 mph and 100 mph???  Didn't even realize I was going that fast til I looked at the speedo.

  I did'nt want to believe it, and now don't want to admit it, but those $30 pieces of plastic really do work. After reading the posts here, I took a ride to the Harley dealer today, and bought a set ( they had them in stock!) Put about 200 miles on the bike today, and they definately cut down on the wind blast. My wife even made a comment about the wind not being so bad today (she didnt know I put them on)

   Just wanted to post this for the skeptics out there ( i'm one of them) they work!
There you have it, if the wifey likes them and didn't even know they were on the bike, then they must work.  ;D

BSR may not be a wifey.  They are talking?

BSR always wifey.  I have become too good of friends with Big Jim and the twins to allow a non-wifey BSR.

It works.  I purposely didn't do the tank recall in anticipation of this (not really).  Without the recall, it fits perfectly.  Noticible change in buffeting.  Perhaps it works even better in concert with the new shield?  IMHO it was worth $30

Has anybody been able to get them to work if you have Lowers?  Seems to me the lowers are in the way.  I cant figure out how to get them to work with lowers.

To work?  Nope.  Lowers are definitely in the way.  Bottom mount won't sit/snap flush on the crash bar at the outer edge of the mount due to a conflict with the top of the lowers.
