I have a 2017 HD Freewheeler & used the 1.5"deluxe lift kit, with great results.
My opinion is to do the DK air wing deflectors at the same time as they kinda go together.
They provide a cooler running engine and on my FW less buffeting. Kevin has testing info, but my temps dropped 10-15°

I have the 1 1/2 " Deluxe kit also along with the wings, great improvement on temps and buffeting.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
2" for us
We went 2" on old shiney and the air deflectors as well. I switched out the bars in 2014 and when I raised the tank I wasn't sure they would fit with the tank lift. But they Did. Raise the tank and get the air deflectors you will be glad you did. Check out the first two pictures look at all the flying critters on the lowers and notice very very few on the Tank. ride safe Fred

I did the 1.5" only and it works well for me. What ever one you go with, do the air deflectors at the same time. I think you will be glad you did.
It is what it is.

All good suggestions above. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you will have the clearance from you bars to your tank. Swing your bars all the way to left and right and measure the space between the tank and bars, before you buy. Will save you some headaches down the road. If you already thought about this, then just ignore.

I put Kevin's 1.5" tank lift (front only) and deflectors on my 16 and a couple months ago added it to my 19. I don't think it makes a huge difference in buffeting but it does reduce it some. Even though I have no way of measuring my exact engine temps I am confident it helps lower them.
It did throw my gas gauge off a little bit on the 19, not so much on the 16. Doesn't matter much though because even on long runs I generally hunt gas every 125 or 130 miles anyway.Well worth the money IMHO.

I believe DK's 1.5 kit with deluxe rear lift plus air wings to be a great investment along with the advantage of cleaning under the tank. It help with my heat 2014 trike.
What he said, looks good and def reduction in heat.Originally Posted by Zammy
I also installed the 1.5” with deluxe option and deflector wings on my 2015 Tri. The buffeting difference is huge, very happy with the results, can hear the radio much better. Good products.

Appreciate you looking at our parts, please feel free to email or call with any questions.

I put the deflectors on my 2011 TG, but not the tank lift and I did noticed a difference in the air flow over the tank. When I got my 2016 I ordered the 1.5 deluxe tank lift along with the new deflectors to go with the tank lift. They definitely make a difference in the amount of air over the tank and instead deflect the air down toward the cylinders. I would go with both the tank lift in which ever height will work for you but also do the deluxe lift. Then as long as your at it you should also do the deflectors. They really compliment the tank lift.
