Default Wind Deflectors
Can anyone tell me if the small oem wind deflector makes a big difference to general buffeting in the car? Just picked up a 99 model and it doesn't have one - I believe they were added in 2000 or something?

The oem one works a little over not having one at all but I have the bigger Ricks Copy and head rest cover and they work a lot better over the none/oem option

It's £150 from the USA (cflhonda) (plus delivery and vat/duty).

Having said that, there are always plenty appearing in the FS section.

Reckon you could pick that up for a tenner or 2 from a breakers...

TBH I can't tell the difference with it on or off!


Edit, ok maybe not 20 quid but for 50/60 quid there's plenty of choice

Mines a MY99 and it has the deflector.
