I dont know about this one. The reason on alot of cruising bikes they have an up draft behind the windscree is that it is just out there and it makes a vacuum behind the windshield that is filled form the easiest place it can coem from, below. On out bikes though the windsheil has a fairing below it that directs the air around the bike and very little air can come from below to fill the vacuum behind the shield, only what can come up through the fairing around the forks. Now in this case the air willc ome in from the sides and gives us all the wonderfull buffeting that we love.
Also if you notice the footnote he says that it wont work on Electra-Glides. that is because that is the only harley with an actual fairing instead of a peice of plexiglass like the one pictured there.
Long story short I really doubt it will give you any real help, if you want to try for free, just put your hand infront of your chest while you are riding at speed, it will deflect the air in the same way thos little flaps will and for free, if it works them mabey invest in the vest.
Goodluck

About
The Flaps? I doubt it
But You could try the theory at home. Start with hommade carbboard flaps... see if they work...

Agreed! The only riders stupid enough to buy and wear this POS are the same morons riding their Harleys without helmets.
BTW, 80% of all Harleys ever made are still on the rode... The other 20% made it home!
