Here's some pics... Also, they make great bug catchers... LOL

Awesome pics. Where did you find the hand control wind deflectors? I need some badly.
Thanks.

Freewheeler Fork Wind Deflector

Had a severe problem with wind buffeting vibration at speeds greater than 55 mph on my 2015 Freewheeler, especially for long rides. I have a 20 inch harley windshield, but vibration on the helmet was so bad that I could barely read road signs. Had to do something for those longer rides at higher highway speeds.

Installed a fork mounted wind deflector from the following location on the web.
http://jescustomaccents.com/

Simply put....it works, period.

It eliminated wind buffeting 100% on my helmet at 55-65mph. It severely reduced buffeting approximately 80 percent at 70 mph and above.

Well worth the money I paid when compared to other HD products that I have added to the bike, as it greatly added to my riding comfort at longer rides at higher speeds, without reducing the look and feel of the bike.

I have the chrome version of the two fork mounted wind deflectors. One price gives you both left and right deflectors. Had it professionally mounted and it works with the OEM turn signals. Control of the bike at higher speeds was my concern on a fork mount, but control was not compromised at higher speeds. So far it simply works, and now buffeting on my helmet is well under control.

OK fellow Freewheeler riders anybody found a way to reduce the amount of updraft created while riding? Just short rides around town and back and forth to work aren't bad, but any long distance runs at highway speeds aren't very comfortable.
I currently have a 16" Long Ride Shields windshield and the 1 1/2" DK Customs tank lift installed along with a Lindby Magnumbar. While riding if I feel around the majority of the turbulence is coming up beside the tank in front of my knees. I've searched for fork mount deflectors but nobody is offering any at this time.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Red

Installed the JES wind deflectors today. I can't say they reduced the updraft...they completely eliminated it! I mean totally. There is no more wind on my upper torso, none, notta, zero. It's like riding in a car. As mentioned in another post, you could lite a cigarette at 60mph with a paper match. Thanks JES!

JES Custom Accents Deflectors

Just got a photo of mine when my guy finished installing them. These are very substantial and chromed beautifully. I hope to ride tonight after work and be able to report less wind!

I hope the weather is good so you get to ride today. I am sure you will be able to report less wind because mine really do a fantastic job.

Ride safe.

I got to use them on a good ride out in east Texas, and it's soooo much better. The only complaint I have is that my right calf gets much hotter...working that out.

Simple. Take off the windshield.

Updraft

I know this may sound odd, but I recently had the sundowner seat put on my FW. I was surprised how much updraft THAT eliminated. I have a rather long mustache that previously would float up and rub my glasses, causing me to have to wipe them at nearly every stop. Since installing the wider seat, that is no longer a problem.
