Post Wind Deflector Kit Install - 2011 RGC

Just finished installing the air deflectors for the front (Wind Deflector Kit - 57000063)

Took, what?, two minutes? hehehehe



Very easy to install...just make sure the front wheel is not locked to the side so you can insert the left deflector (if looking from a seated position on the bike). The deflector just clips to the crash bar and the gas tank mount.

It doesn't look like the wind deflectors would work on an Ultra Classic with lowers.

Doesn't look like a Harley part number. What brand are they?

Don't think they would work with fork mounted fairing

yes, they are harley branded. yes, they do work. but, they are for the road glides, not batwings.

there is a caveat though, if your bike has had the fuel tank recall done, then they will not fit directly out of the box. in my case, i just got a slightly longer bolt, and a nylon spacer to give the extra area for the deflector to hook on to.

Yes, these are Harley Davidson parts: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...1&default=none

Standard items on the '11 CVO Road Glide.

As Skratch mentioned, these will not fit without modification if you have a '10 with the fuel tank recall.

Feedback from other Road Glide riders is that it works. I still have not put the bike back together to test.

I'm interested to see how they work out. I just saw them on the CVO RGU yesterday at the dealer...

Upon arriving home with my new RGC two months ago, I snapped on a set, along with a 12" WindVest shield. The wind does not beat me up at all. Oh yeah, I also added that $30 half moon shaped chrome thing under the fairing, but I can't remember the HD part number. For those considering an inexpensive comfort improvement, I say give this 2-pc part a try. Worst case scenario is you are out $30. The only other anti-buffeting solution I've heard of is lowers.
