Mine are in because they came that way

How can I vote multiple times for FYB?

Mine are in because I don't feel as if they do anything.

Mine have always been in...since October 2014. In the interests of science, I am whipping it out this year. Btw, I voted FYB, because that is the answer that is most correct.

Gen2 panels were a little more useful. The Gen3 ones just deflect a little more rain when out vs. when they are in. Whatever floats your boat.

I took the right one off my 2013. Put it back on in the out position. The other one was in the in position. I didn't notice for a long while.

The only time mine come "out" is to remove the plastics. I didn't vote, because there is no appropriate answer. Including the last one!

I voted in, but only because they came that way. I moved them out once and noted no discernible difference. In fact, I've ridden with them off when doing service, and still notice no difference. I prefer the look of them in. Not that you can really tell.
So what oil do you run in 'em?

I leave them in. Never noticed any difference between in and out. But I always have riding boots and riding pants, so, don't really notice any heat differences. Might be different if you wore shorts. Bob, I would have thought they reduced air turbulence on your shoulders for a guy your size

Ed, it's too late now, but turbulence might be heading your way now...lol. You've got a head start though, since he's in NOVA.
Good luck.

There are moveable panels?
