Front wheel air Baffle, I adapted it to mine. I find a great difference in the amount of buffeting I get in the chest and face. Clear lowers help also.

eleft36 - Who makes the clear baffles you have installed?

I have a 08 Street Glide and can't use the HD fork baffles and I'm looking for an alternate fork baffle and yours are even stealthy.

AZ,

There might be confusion as to which is the Front wheel air baffle (HD kit #58520-79TC) and the Memphis Shades lowers (MEM9888 Independent Lowers).
The baffle is mounted under the head light and the lowers are mounted on the fork tubes shown under the signal lights. Google "Memphis Shades lowers".

Hope this helps.

I run that HD part # & did a search for the front wheel air baffle on the HD web site & came up with nothing , do I have to go to a dealer to find that part & what is the cost ?

Same one but Al added a bracket to mount his on the tree on his bike. Yours is a bolt on application.

eleft36 what all did you do to make this work with your softail?

Check the aluminum angle in the photo, cut and drilled to match the baffle on one flange and centered to match the head light attaching bolt on the other flange. (home depot angle and grade 8 bolt)

I used the 2 screws that come with the kit and replaced the head light attachment bolt with one a 1/4" longer

Thanks. I might have to give it a try. I just put a windshield on and I am getting air coming up behind the shield. At 70+ its like I don't have the shield on at all.
