Blocking air coming up in front of the tank
« on: September 18, 2023, 01:29:11 PM »

2018 CVO Road Glide....wind coming up from in front of the gas tank. On my 2020 Limited I have black shields that connect to the eng guard, but that only works with the full size guard. That bike has a much calmer ride (less air around the rider) than the 2018 CVO. Will the front spoiler fix any of this air coming up or does anybody have any other solutions. Looking at this spoiler.

I had that exact spoiler on my FLTRXSE (2022) and it didn’t help with the airflow between the tank and spoiler.

Thanks, DK only shows the deflector on a FLH, is the FLT deflector the same ?

Beats me...that's why I ordered from them--so if it doesn't fit I can return it. The site says it fits a 2018 CVO Road Glide.....

Those used to come on dressers. Both my Road King and Electra Glide had these from Factory. Harley sold chrome replacements at that time, in the 2001 - 2007 range. I never saw they did anything and removed them after a few miles on both bikes. To each his own

Mike the baffle that you bought is for bat wings. I had used that one and it worked great on my bat wings BUT when I installed one on my RG (exactly like yours) not so much. It's about the fairing and I believe that this one is what you're after. They seem to come standard on the Ultra RG's but not on the others.
