I have ridden for many years, and put up with the head buffeting and wind noise leading to headaches and a not so enjoyable ride because I did not know that there was a solution. I first found a version of the fork mounted deflectors after I bought my 2009 Yamaha Stratoliner. They made riding a pleasure again. I found the fork fangs online not long after I bought my Road King, and was amazed at how much difference they made compared to their size. I recently ordered, and just received the fork fangs for my Streetglide and am looking forward to getting them installed. I too am not real fond of the looks, but they are worth their weight in gold to me for the benefits that they provide.
