Do they work? Before I order them, I thought I would ask if people think they actually do anything. Thanks in advance for any input.

I have them and like them and yes I do think they work. I haven't ridden the bike without them because they have been on since I left the dealer so no comparison to offer you but I have to say yes they work plus they fill up those empty holes on either side which avoids a million questions from people "what are those holes for?" I think they finish off the look of the shield pretty nice.

I went with the recommendation from Greg and bought a set. Can't tell you how well they work as I have not ridden my bike since installing them. I do think they look good and give the bike a finished look.

I think they come with adventure kit which I ordered. When I get the bike I'll let you know before and after - I told the dealer I would install the accessories. Friday is the big day for me.

Oh, did I mention Friday was the big day, no really - Friday 8)

I hope you mean this friday the 5th. That extra week would feel like a year now that bikes are coming in.

So, are you saying you get more air/wind to the upper torso without the deflectors?
