Sorry, I should have said I had these on my 07 Low Rider, and used the same mounting brackets they fit right on the forks like someone's pic above.

I had a set of Road King deflectors on my Switchback, I just had to drill one hole.

But when I added an MS Batwing, they didn't allow enough clearance between the extra side deflectors on the Batwing and the relocated turn signals, so I bought a set from JES.

The JES ones are more money, but they fit properly, are really good quality and work just as good.

Thanks all! I think I'll register for the Switchback forum just to check them out. I may end up going with the Jes Custom deflectors. THought maybe I could swing the $165 but need to wait to see if CAR is going to pass inspection, or if we need new tires. Ugh. Then again, told hubby if it gets a reject, just bring it home and park it for the summer, lol!

I have a set of MS fork deflectors on my 12 Switchback. The mounting hardware is listed as for a Yamaha V-Star and it works just fine. My wife used to have a Vstar 650 classic and I tried those and fit fine. I had to modify my fork deflectors once I installed the MS batwing and relocated the front signals. Some information is posred on the Switchback forum.

The memphis shades part numbers are:

Fork Deflectors #2350-0143
Mounting Kit#2321-0166

As I said, I needed to cut a relief for the signals once I moved the signals from the handlebars. They work great.

Went with the JES fork deflectors. Put them on yesterday but it was raining. Going on a trip tomorrow - keeping my fingers crossed that they help!
