Swan's Fork Deflectors

Today I was caught in the rain and I don't like to ride in the rain! Mostly because of the clean up of my trike. But today I had a surprise, this was the first time I have been caught in the rain in long time. I had installed the fork baffles from Dennis Swan to help with the cold air, and they did just that. They would be worth the money for that alone but to my surprise they really help in the rain. By diverting the air they also divert the rain and as long as I kept moving only the very outside of my pants leg got wet. How about that sh-t. Wonders never cease to happen. <br />
<br />
They didn't help with the dam-n clean up but I was still surprised at how dry I stayed. I didn't think I would melt but it was nice just the same.

Don't tell Swan he will raise the price. Not as dry as my BMWs but a great improvement over stock. The Klockwerks windshield helps also, but the combination is a winner. Anyone had this happen? Thanks, Jerry

Rode in the rain the other day for a while with all of Dennis's deflectors deployed along with a Clark windshield, and I experienced the same thing..Had lower fairing vents closed also. Was surprised how dry I was when I got home!<br />

Dennis,,once again I am very appreciative of guys like you that think this stuff up to make our world better!! And dryer!
 
Had to make a decision on the Fork Wings today. Several on here today ordered them in chrome finish and are now on a wait list till I get more from chrome shop. I have 15 sets there now and that is all I am going to have chrome plated. Only ones I will sell after that will be powder coated.
Found it hard to have a reliable source for this finish.
