They're coming off to get painted since they are still bare metal but I just had to try em first,like a kid on Christmas morning!

I hate to be the "devils advocate" here ... but my concern would be that the wind deflectors would rob cooling air from the engine .. just a thought.
Psychogramps posted earlier,he had a prototype set and over a period of 1800 miles he took numerous oil and head temp readings and saw no difference with them on or off....I also raised the front of my tank with a DK Industries kit which allows more airflow over the rear cylinder...........
I had a set of fangs on my 2000 Road King and I left them on winter and summer. Some of my friends took theirs off in the summer but I never noticed any issues with excessive heat on the engine by leaving mine on year around. Also, I don't see much difference in having fangs versus a full dresser with fairing and lowers as far as restricting air flow to the engine. I left my lowers on year around on my 2005 Electraglide Classic CVO.

Lots of places have been selling fangs for H-D motorcycles,included H-D,for many years. If it caused a significant cooling problem,I think we would know about it by now.
Installed mine today. Great quality and they do make a diiference.
I placed my order yesterday and they were shipped today. I hope to have them by this Friday. Can't wait to try them out. They look pretty easy to install. Is there anything I should look out for while installing them?
They are very easy to install, just follow the directions that come with them. Took me about 15 minutes from the time I opened the package. I consider them to be one of the best accessories I have added to my FW. I estimate that they cut out about 80% to 85% of the wind that was hitting me in the face even though I had a tank lift kit and a tall windshield.

Got mine yesterday and had them installed within 20 minutes of receiving them. Had to take a short ride and test them out. They accomplished everything I expected. One of the best investments I have made for my Free.
The best addition that I have made so far, I can now ride with the shield up.
