Fork Mounted Lower Wind Deflectors?
«

Anyone have any experience with fork mounted lower wind deflectors?
My bike is a 2003 Standard, with a Memphis Shade windshield.
Any suggestion or ideas would be appreciated, on what works to deflect at least some of the wind.
Thanks!

Never had them on a Valkyrie, but had some Baker Air Wings on my previous Gold Wing. I think the Baker Air wings are best for wind deflection or wind enhancement in the summer.

Hey BT, I put lowers on all of my MC's; for the Valkyrie they greatly reduce buffeting and wind booming in my helmet. I prefer the look of the Hondaline fork deflectors but they are hard to come by these days. Memphis shades makes lowers that fit the contour and color of the windshield.

I just put the Big Bike Things fork deflectors on my Interstate, 145.00, and after 35 miles I had to remove them. So much hot air coming up from the engine that I can't use them. Don't know if I should try and sell these or order the bakers to go with the fork mounted deflectors.

I have, and like the Rifle Lowers. Had em on the bike for 2 years now and they are holding up well. They do a great job and managing air.
