(Including Freewheelers & Road Glide 3)

MADE IN THE USA!
By
DK Custom Products

 

 

FEATURES: 

  • Made from American Steel
  • Durable Black Powder Coat Finish
  • Reduces Rider & Passenger Buffeting
  • Re-Directs air on to the engine for better Cooling
  • E-Z BOLT-ON INSTALL - DOES NOT REQUIRE REMOVAL OF TANK
  • E-Z Install, Step-by-Step Instructions included
  • Made in The USA

 

The functions of the Cooling Deflector Wings are:

1.  Reduce the air coming over the top of the tank, around the sides of the tank, And between the upper & lower fairings.  

2.  This results in a reduction of air hitting the rider and passenger chest, which reduces buffeting/helmet & glasses bobble.

3.  Redirect that air to flow over the engine for better cooling.

We have consistently seen engine temperatures reduced by 8-15 degrees with the CDW's.


These mount up easily at the front tank/frame mounting point on each side.  They are adjustable to get the best redirection of air for you.

When ordering, use the drop-down to let us know whether you have a Harley Trike or a Harley 2-Wheel Touring Model.  This way we can send you the correct CDW for your Ride.

 

Most baffles and deflectors that reduce rider and passenger buffeting also reduce air flow over the engine, making it run hotter. 2007-Up Twin Cams already run too hot during the warm weather months.

With some thought, some curves and bends, & many miles of testing various prototypes, we developed the CDW's that -

  • Reduce Buffeting
  • Are unobtrusive when installed
  • Increase air flow, cooling the engine, resulting in better engine performance & longer engine life

 

This is an EASY install - 10 to 20 minutes! 

These Charts showing normal operating temps are Directly from the Harley Manual:

"Who knew something so small would make such a big improvement, Thank you!" -Anthony

 

"Hello I am very happy with your air wings, they look much better than Harleys. Oil temp down about 5 to 8 precent.Thanks." -Steve Harshbarger

 

 

"I ordered a set about three weeks ago for my '14 Ultra Limited. First, I want to thank you for the extremely fast shipping. Second, the wings cured my buffeting problem.

I have a $650 Shoei helmet that I couldn't wear because my eyeballs were shaking so badly that I couldn't focus on the road, but not any longer. Great product! Thanks!" -Stephen

 

 

"Had the stereo coming through the helmet speakers, and I could definitely hear it better, and could hear the wife on the intercom much better.

Much less noise under the shield. I was actually able to knock the VOX back three notches without it kicking in and out off of my mic...

So we're well pleased, noticeably less helmet bobble, I used to get a lot, and an unexpected improvement in using the front intercom." -Nate

There are two different style CDW's-

1.  Fits HD Trikes with a tank lift and looks like this-



2.  Fits Trikes without a tank lift and all 2 wheel Touring models (with or without a tank lift) and looks like this-



The reason for the different design is that on all two wheelers, and Trikes without a tank lift, there is less clearance room, so the design is a bit different (and smaller) to get everything to fit.

They both have a "wing" to them that extends out past where the air is that would cause buffeting, this wing is to catch extra air and direct it down onto the engine.

The purpose for designing these was two-fold:

1.  Redirect air onto the engine to cool it down.  This happens 100% of the time and is good for an 8-15* reduction in engine temps (regardless of design).

2.  Reduce buffeting.  How much it will reduce it is dependent on dozens of factors.  How tall you are, what kind of seat you use, how you sit/slouch, foot/leg placement, type of helmet, etc.

Here are a few photos, side by side, for comparision-







btw, the one made for the two wheelers/trikes with no tank lift, will also fit on the trikes with a tank lift.

They also work well on bikes/trikes with no lower fairings.

Cooling Deflector Wings Review by Josh
These definitely help with the buffet I was getting at my helmet. I also notice I can hear my radio much better - probably a 2 bar reduction in volume to hear the radio at highway speed. I can’t say as far as cooling yet - it was a chilly day today, but it seems to push a lot more air down toward the engine. I would recommend viewing the instruction video before installing these - the instructions aren’t bad, but it took me a bit to figure out how these get oriented - watching the video helps a lot!

Tried these mainly for buffeting. I have a 2013 and there is nothing out there except these for the 2013 TG that I could find.

Cooling deflector wings for 2018 Tri-glide Review by Kerry
I was unsure of how effective or if they would flex a lot. I was talking with another couple with a Tri-glide one day, about modifications to the bikes, and they saw I had your oil filter relocation unit & oil cooler, and asked how effective I thought it was. They had your cooling deflector wings and I asked the same about those. I could see how sturdy and well-made they were. I ordered them that day when we got back home! If you are thinking about getting a set do it, makes Momma happy too. (Posted on 6/28/2023)

Added Cooling Review by Cornbread
So I have now added the cooling wings with the oil filter relocation kit, tank lift kit and a fan assisted factory oil cooler. The numbers speak for themselves. I am running oil temps between 195-200, riding in 98-100 degree air temps, while running about 80-85 mpg on the freeway. I am running an M8 with oil and air cooling.

Bottom line is DK's products WORK and 200 is a lot better than 230+ oil temp. I also run the DK external breather system. DK produces quality products that WORK! That's all I have for y'all today. I'm out and y'all peace out. (Posted on 6/26/2023)

Great quality, easy installation, still dialing them in Review by Denny
Check out my tank lift review for a good laugh.

Once I got my head right, and installed my lift kit correctly, these wings went right on. Maybe took two minutes.

I used a 1” lift in the front and 1/2” on the rear, so the wings didn’t cause any clearance issues with either my tank or the fairing.

The toughest part of the install for me (and if you read my tank lift review, it won’t be a surprise) was properly adjusting the angle to maximize airflow over the engine and minimize wind buffeting on me.

I’ve changed the angle twice so far after about 100 miles, and I think I’ve got them where they do both well. I may try a couple of more positions just to be sure.

If the guys at DK have found the sweet spot, I’d be interested to see what they’ve come up with. Overall, I love these wings and have zero complaints. (Posted on 5/1/2023)

Freewheeler tank lift and airfoils Review by GreyWolf
I purchased the 1 1/2" full lift, for the front and rear of the tank on my 2019 Freewheeler, M8 114. Installed the lift which gave more space, breathing room, above the heads. It is winter here in North Alabama, however it appeared to reduce the engine heat and some wind buffeting. So went to the next step with the black painted airfoils, cooling wind deflectors, for the raised tank on my FLRT. I mounted them and finally got a short ride in between the very cold temperatures and rain to check the results. The airfoils appeared to help with the wind buffeting by 80% and I felt the air being directed towards the heads and jugs, as advertised. I may try more fine tuning later. All of the orders I've purchased from DK have arrived in a reasonable amount of time, packed with care and worked as advertsed. I'll continue to check their website for other items I may be interested in and their "youtube" vids, even though I'm not a fan of "youboob". I've also used their email contact for questions about their products and given detailed answers that gave me confidence to order the items I have so far. (Posted on 1/1/2023)

It's a try and see thing Review by Jeff
The wings seem to bring more air to the engine and change the air flow up around the tank exactly as advertised. Unfortunately for me (6'1" tall, 17 RK, police seat, windshield) they make buffeting worse, air coming upward around the tank is moved backward putting my head more in the upward flow. Will give them another try after adding tank lifts. (Posted on 9/14/2022)

After some trial & error, they work pretty good. Review by Dodger
21 Freewheeler with lower wind deflectors on forks.(aka, fangs) and 16" windshield. I did not have wind coming up the front of the gas tank but up the sides. After 1st installing wings per instructions, I didn't feel any difference. After reversing the wings (right to left/left to right) it moved the air back about 4" and reduced the volume about 50%. I would recommend them. (Posted on 6/3/2022)

Not really seeing significant decrease in head temp Review by Bobb Gorena
The instructions could use a diagram or two to show how these install because the description is pretty vague and the pictures on the website aren't much help either. Regardless, I got them installed but they could be on the wrong side (I lost the foam they were packed in with the left/right writing) and perhaps they're in the wrong spot, I bolted them to the bottom of the lift arms. Either way it looks like they should be deflecting wind down and the front head, but I didn't really see an overall decrease in max temp, although it did seem like the temp rose more slowly and fell more quickly when I got out in the air at speed. I believe that's mostly from the tank lift, though. I gotta say that the claimed "10-15 degree" drop in temp is not being seen on my '22 RG. I'm going to try to keep tweaking them to see if I can get them adjusted so there's more air being blasted to the heads. Here's a suggestion: how about stamping a L and R on the damn things, lol. Might help some...

Watch this video so that you can see the proper orientation. 8-10* drop is what you should see in a controlled, apples to apples comparison.

Wait…how?! Review by Raul
Upon receiving these and the 1” tank lift hardware I thought to my self “ohhh great. I just got ripped off. What is this?!”

Went ahead and installed them on my 2012 SG. On my test ride I simply said “wait! How?!” “These things are actually working!”

Eliminated about 80% of my buffeting. I had a big buffeting issue right at 60 mph. It’s mostly gone. At 70-80 mph the bike is pleasant again to ride.

Can’t feel that gush of air that was coming from the side of the tank anymore.

I do have the HD fairing adjustable vents. It does rub at full turn with the DFW; being that the HD fairing vents are plastic it’s able to give without breaking. It’s probably rubbing 1/8 of an inch.

Overall satisfied.

Good job, guys! (Posted on 10/11/2021)

These work best with the tank lift with the deluxe option. I installed these on a 2016 Tri-glide after installing a new windshield. Having the wind go around me more made it real obvious how much was coming up from my lowers. I got these and it solved that problem along with helping direct the air over the engine and under the tank more withg the deluxe tank lift kit. My Trike has barely hit over 200F since installing these with the tank lift. Just get em. Install is easy especially if you do it when you install the tank lift. (Posted on 3/19/2021)

DK “Gives you wings” Review by Trikemaster
Installed on 2020 Tri glide Ultra with 1-1/2” tank lift kit. Install was ease. As per instructions I needed to bend ever so slightly to gain clearance and angle to direct air flow at maximum. Clearance at bottom back edge of fairing was achieved by bending mentioned above. No problem. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that the adjustable wings at the bottom ends of the fairing when adjusted to allow air flow towards engine the top rubs across the top very end of the wing slightly. Not so much as to cause not using them just be aware. GREAT product!! Thanks again! (Posted on 3/16/2021)

Well worth the money Review by CrazyAsian
2020 FLHTK here, put these on in 15 minutes, quick, easy install. I have nothing to compare them to as this is my first HD, and Bagger, coming from metric choppers. I do know that they did in fact almost eliminate the dirty air coming over the front of the tank, thereby eliminating buffeting and eyeball bounce for me at 6' with a stock 10" windshield and stock seat. All in all, well worth the money I spent. DK's fantastic customer service is just the icing on the cake, I'm a customer for life now. (Posted on 12/29/2020)

great product Review by dan
after installation i noticed a decrease in the air flow on my face . this was great but when i put my feet on the highway pegs i usually get a lot more air flow running up my legs and into my face but now that is 80 percent less . this alone makes these wings worth the money . with all that wind blowing over my motor it has to be running cooler .. Great product ! (Posted on 10/18/2020)

Noticeable improvement in buffeting, but not end all solution Review by Dave D
Install, was super easy. I adjusted them as high up as I could while still clearing the fairing at full turn. Aesthetically, you hardly notice them. Now for my main concern, buffeting. I did all my observations at 80mph. I did notice a reduction in the buffeting, but its not life altering like the fangs were. With these installed my glasses didn't vibrate nearly as much as they did before, but there is still some. To their credit it is a noticeable reduction so I would definitely call it a plus. Between the KW windscreen, fairing deflectors, and Lowers, It has definitely removed about 90% of my issues. I will also say, traffic was very heavy while doing these tests on the freeway. More traffic is more turbulent air, so with that said, just cruising open road, it may have even better results. I can't say much for cooling as my bike is stage 2 with a custom tune. With the cat elimination and the tune, it already ran cooler than the lean stock tune. However, I did notice more airflow down by my feet. Overall, Its worth the 50 bucks to give it a shot if you still suffer from buffeting. (Posted on 10/16/2020)

Deflectors Review by Oz Walds
I bought the deflectors the same time I bought the 1.5 inch deluxe tank lift. My way of thinking it just made sense to do this at the same time, tanks up and I am looking for more air over my cylinders this was a great addon.

Another Great Product. Review by TerryThrTrollKiller
Since June I have installed the tank lift, floorboard relocation kits, trike shocks and lift kit, oil filter relocation and oil cooler kit and last, but not least, the cooling wings. I am a happy camper now. I always loved my trike but now, I’m in love with riding it. It is much cooler, no more scorched legs and the ride is fantastic. These cooling wings top off my upgrades and ate well worth the price. Carry a socket snd adjust them until you get the sweet spot. (Posted on 8/25/2020)

Not great Review by Paul
Engine dropped a couple degrees as per my tuner, but I run 210 to 230 most of the time. They did not do anything for wind buffering.and that's what I was looking for. The wind between the lowers and bat wing hit me in the face, I love the wind but not how my sunglasses jump around.

excellent products Review by Petrus
Tanklift and deflectors work perfect for me. No more buffeting to the helmet and the ride is much more quit.
Also, at the moment its very hot in the Netherlands and after a 2 hour ride on the highway at 120 km the oiltemperature did not come above 115C [239F] and that is without an oilcooler. So the tanklift helps with the cooling aswell. Also no need for midframe deflectors to keep the heat away from your thighs.
Very happy with both products. (Posted on 8/13/2020)

Effective Review by Jeff in Tucson
I ride in temperatures well over 100 degrees in the Arizona desert with my 2012 Road Glide. The custom motor is quite the beast at 113 ci and 130 hp / 127 tq. Things get cooking fast down here! With the tank riser kit, plus the rear deluxe lift kit, and the cooling wings, I'm easily seeing 10 degrees less, sometimes more, on really hot days. Even during questionable speeds on the highway in the heat, passing grandmothers, Corvettes, Mustangs and Kawasakis, the oil temp has never gone over 230. At regular cruising, it's more like 190. Ah, life is good. (Posted on 8/5/2020)

Did better than I expected........ Review by MickeyFee
I was hoping that they would deflex the wind and rain from coming up from between the lower fairings and fairing. They do great at pushing wind and rain down and away from my face, and eliminated all wind buffeting.
Bonus points for mild engine heat reduction and keeping my legs a bit cooler also.
Very pleased with the results! (Posted on 7/4/2020)

These wings are great for redirecting the air that would be flowing over the tank down towards the engine. Helps to cool the engine and stops the air from hitting the rider. With less turbulence around my helmet, I can hear the bike better and that’s always a good thing. (Posted on 6/1/2020)

Super easy to install, and they make a big difference. Noticaeble difference in the way the air comes up over the tank, or doesn't any more.

Put the wind deflectors on my 2017 Tri-Glide with the deluxe tank lift. The installation was quick and easy. About a 15 minute job. What a felt difference in reduced wind buffeting between the fairing and gas tank. Nice not having as much wind hit you in the face and chest. The felt heat coming off the side of the engine onto the rider and the passengers legs was reduced to almost none. Great product, nice fit and finish. (Posted on 3/26/2020)

Definite Improvement Review by Matt E.
I put these on my 2020 Ultra Limited to go along with a 10" Freedom Shield. I had tried a couple of other fixes for head-buffeting / wind management (various windshields and air-deflectors) but hadn't quite got it as good as I felt it could be based on past experience with my previous bat-wing fairing bike (2015 Street Glide Special with fork fangs and a Freedom Shield). The Freedom Shield was a step in the right direction after first trying a Klockwerks Shield but it still wasn't good enough. I considered adding a customized set of Harley fork fangs but was leery of what they would do to my engine temperatures (Limited has lower fairings). I haven't tried to measure engine temps with these DK Custom Deflector Wings (I don't see how they could do anything but help lower temps) but they definitely lessened the turbulence in/around my face and head. Based on memory alone (not necessarily all that reliable) I don't think these cut updraft quite as good as Harley fork fangs, but they are a close second and definitely won't hurt my engine temps. I give the Wings two thumbs up. They're definitely worth the price of admission. (Posted on 11/7/2019)

Worth the buy for street glides Review by Michael
So it is definitely worth it for buffeting alone. I am 5'10 and ride a 2015 FLHXS with a klockwerks 6.5. This was added after the clock werks and did more for buffeting than many other buffeting mitigations.

For heat. I tested it in similar conditions at highway speeds and say maybe a 2 degree run temp drop, however cooling down to that point seemed accelerated so I think it is worth the buy. (Posted on 8/8/2019)

I installed these during my installation of the tank after putting the ThunderVolt 50 plug wires on my 2017 HD Freewheeler trike.
On my test ride, I had an immediate improvement in head/helmet buffeting that could be felt on the highway. My temp. reading showed a 10-12° improvement & coupled with DK Customs 1.5" tank lift, a 20-25° overall temperature reduction.
Thanks for another great product. (Posted on 7/10/2019)

Not Sure.... Review by Carlo
Just returned from a 2500 miles road trip in Europe (Spain and Portugal) I am from the UK.
Fitted the Cooling Deflector Wings before I went.
1. Product well made and easy to fit (I had to use the supplied spacer but no problem).
2. I have an 2018 Ultra Limited Low.
3. It was a really hot trip...the weather in Europe is exceptionally hot at the moment...100 - 110 degrees.
I do not know whether the CDWs actually helped to keep my engine temp. down...I did not measure it but I had no problems.

4. I bought the wings primarily to help with head buffeting. They may have helped a little but I am not sure how much. I still had some buffeting so they did not eliminate it. (Posted on 7/5/2019)

Timely delivery, hardest part about install was getting them out of the packaging ( someone went crazy with the tape); I combined this with a 1" tank lift.
