Hear your engine

[since77]

I'm Jerry. I purchased a Yamaha 400XS back in 77 and have been riding off and on since. Now own a 2007 HD Dyna Low Rider.
I wanted to share with other bikers a new option in the battle to reduce helmet wind noise. HYES, LLC sells a knee mounted air deflector that is made to block the wind that comes up from under your windshield. I have a set and won't ride without them.

Knee pads while riding
I think someone in San Francisco would love a set.

I apologize for not responding earlier. It seems that there was a bit of a misunderstanding about the function of the deflectors. While if a rider had to lay his motorcycle down, it is possible that the deflector could be helpful in protecting the rider's knee. But that is not what the deflector was designed to do. While the windshield has air flowing up and over the front of it, a air stream is being drawn up the back side of the windshield. The air deflectors block the annoying and deafening part of that air stream that would hit the rider's face.
