Harley Wind deflectors once and for all need some clarification please?

[Jim0249]

OK bought these yesterday and started to install them and thought the bags they came in were mis marked as to which was left side and which was right?

Should these be installed with what looks like "backwards" with the back of the curve facing the rear of the bike. Intuition tells me otherwise but I want to be sure? It just doesn't look right with the curve facing backwards but I'll do anything to relieve the side buffet I'm getting

Any thoughts please?

If you go back and read the post about the wind defectors i believe it says curve side facing out.

When all else fails please read. Did the parts come with instructions? if not go to the HD web site and look for install instructions. if not curve side out.

Curve or cup goes forward... grabs the air and redirects it up over the fairing...

^^^^ what he said. The daymaker works very well but if you want to light up the road ditch to ditch you will also have to add the auxiliary lights. The trio works extremely well together.

Before I had the auxiliary lights installed I was considering installing rigid duallys on the crash bar. I though it would take away from the looks of the scoot. Glad I went the rout I did.

I'm not sure how this got posted in this thread because it was meant for different thread.

As Spazz says the curve goes forward looks funny to begin with but works really good. If you put the curve towards the back it will hit the crash bar at full turn.

You'll like them once installed - they're ugly (to me) but they work really well! I rode a new 2015 Ultra Saturday and it had a lot more buffeting than I was used to with my FLHXS.

 

[airhead]

This may help. on some machines they will fit either way. Mojo thanks for the clarification. These things really do work, I had a pair (really older version) on my 87FLHTC shot the bug remnants up and on whomever was on back of the bike.

I take it, it wont hearder the install of the auxiliary lights? The fork delfectors.

 

[Spazz]

It does... a little trimming from what i have seen and heard

Does this help ?

I agree. No matter how well they work I could not have these on my bike!
It would be interesting if a product was made out of the same tinted material as a windshield instead of chrome. Tinted and see through.

I thought the same thing. Then I put them on anyway. Now, when I ask people how they look when we are away from the bike, almost nobody remembers seeing them. Maybe they all have dementia or else they are stealthy with the chrome front end. You can get 'em in black too.

Same here! They work great won't take them off now.

Yep! I put them on and told my brother I added some thing to my bike but didn't tell what it was. He walked around the bike for 5 min looking it all over and I finally had to point them out.

 

[Spazz]

The biggest 'shock' is the initial install.... after that... you and everybody else never notices them. BUT you KNOW you have them once you hit the open road.

I'm sold on them, with all the other add-ons I have ZERO buffeting in the chest-neck-face area.

Definitely! Taller windshield eliminated the sunglasses dancing around on my face but I was still taking alot of pounding in the chest and lower face areas. Fork deflectors reduced that drastically.
