Default fugly fangs

I have a set of those ugly fangs and have to say that with a 7" windshield
I have very little buffeting 75 mph 3/4 face helmet and very little air.

I went with chrome and have about 4,000 miles with them now.
They kind of grow on you as a chrome add on .
If you can get a chance to demo them just try it .

I have had a set on my last two bikes and this bike I leave them on all year even here in AZ they work good and don't look bad. But I didn't go with HD I got mine from JC Customs.

These cost twice as much as the harley ones.

Will state mine are growing on me, did not like the look at first. However the function far out weigh my concern about the look.

I thought they made a world of difference on mynRoad King and really didn't mind the look of them either.
I just picked up a new '17 Street Glide Special and was wondering if they would fit that bike? (the Big Book lists '06 and later FLHXS)

I bought the HD fangs for my 2014 Road King. When I traded that in for my 2017 Street Glide Special, I put them on. They fit perfectly, they look good (to me), and most importantly, they work.

Hey that's Great! They made a huge difference and I was hoping I'd be able to put em back on the new bike. I guess they fit underneath the side indicator covers?

When I bought this bike in 2014 the only extra thing I had the dealer install was the fork wind deflectors. They've been on ever since.

I noticed the same thing on my old RK. The fangs made a dramatic difference. I got use to the look pretty quickly.
