Clint, I think some may have installed something like Barkbusters, but the Honda wind deflectors really do work well. They're aerodynamically ingenious, working like a slot on a wing, energizing the air flowing off the fairing and keeping that flowing smoothly till it's a couple of inches outboard of the edge of the fairing. I rode through torrential rain from San Diego, NM, nearly all the way to Albuquerque, about 120 miles, wearing my thin summer-weight gloves. The backs of the gloves did get wet but not so soaked that the whole glove was wet, and they dried fairly quickly. If I hadn't had the wind deflectors, my hands would have been soaked and frozen.
