I'm looking to add some fangs or fork mounted lowers to ease up some of the tank buffeting coming up under the Batwing fairing. Anyone on this thread know of a clamp that is sized correctly or am I going to have to DIY it up?
The braces I hacked up a set of Slip Stream braces. I don't have the alignment quite right yet and thought I could get away with just some rubber pads. After a 200 mile ride the pad almost slid completely off because of alignment issues.
Wind deflectors I traced out with cardboard (like someone else here did) then cut using a jigsaw.

Nice! Let us know how it works out after some miles.
Will do. Deflectors worked great for the 400 ish miles I have on them! Braces, mostly worked. I think I'm going to design and print up some with my 3d printer.
Nice have you considered fangs also? I also have the 15" Gustafsson. I wonder if the fork fangs would aid in downforce to the front tire and bike in general and make it even more stable a high speed. Old Mike might know if he sees this and would chime in
Not sure where you'd mount the fork fangs. Are people interested in if I get some of these deflectors laser cut? I'm experimenting with some fork mounting options right now.

I had fangs mounted on my Street Glide, didn't notice any change in stability, just less wind buffeting.
