Bought a 2023 Harley street glide special. I did the same thing & everything was good. Easy to do, fairing off, 2 screws & all done.

Have a 2021 Street Glide with open vent. I cut a piece of black foam I had in the garage and will stuff that in the front side of the vent. When I want open, I simply remove the foam and toss into saddle bag. No cost and it is not noticeable when in vent,

I'm gonna have to come up with something like that for while I'm on the road till I get home. Still got about 5 more weeks to go with more rain, I'm sure.......

Probably NOT what I would have picked up at my home dealership if I had time, but it's a good base to start a new build from. AND....... it'll get me home now, lol!

Thanks, but the upcoming paint job color that is pending, (me and Mrs. MJ have yet to decide), those bag guards will probably go up for sale in the classifieds, lol......

These Vents are "Sold Out" on line for $110.25.
I found some on Ebay that are half the cost as the HD one, even though seller has "slightly shaky" Feedback.
I bought one to install on my 2021 CVO Limited, I'll let you know how things go after the install ......

Chinese seller! Quick search I found another Chinese seller with a good rating selling them for $44.

I've had real bad luck buying from Chinese sellers on eBay. They sell knockoffs that must be rejected seconds!
