Default Wind Deflectors?

Anyone running wind deflectors on their Dyna? If so, what are you using? Pics appreciated.

I installed the HD quick release windshield with the detachable clamps on my WG and would like to find wind deflectors that either mount to the detachable clamps or if need be on the forks. I can't find anything that seems to work without modification and was hoping someone on the forum knows who sells wind deflectors for Dyna models that will fit and work. Thanks!

I am interested in some wind deflectors for my hands, anyone seen any that fits 11 Wide Glide?

That's what I'm looking for. Can you tell me what you had to do to the deflectors to make them fit. Was it a matter of drilling new mounting holes or more than that?

Awesome! Let me know when you are ready to take it to market. My fingers are starting to freeze on the morning ride into work.

We have had great reviews of our WingShields. Just received this one this week:
"i received my hand windshields yesterday and had them installed on my harley davidson xr1200x 2012 model and it took me at most 30 minutes to install and the time was just spent unscrewing the mirrors from the handlebars. I test rode the bike and the shields are really helpful for wind protection and the other thing i like is that i have more space to put my harley decals on now. Thanks for the good product and service i wish i had these 40 years ago when i first started riding i could have saved a lot of damage to my fingers during those winter seasons i was riding. thanks again from greg of washington, dc."

Here is a video from a customer in Europe that he made up for us:

And finally - here the link to our HDForum discounts for all our products including the WingShields for Harley.

Let me know if you have any questions.

It wouldn't allow me to post 2 videos, so here is the balance of my message.

The shields themselves are made of unbreakable Lexan - and here is a video showing just how strong they are:

I decided to try the Rifle lowers. http://rifle.com/

They appear to be of good quality and hopefully will do the trick. Was out riding today on the highway with my windshield on and the head buffeting was pretty bad. When I had a Road King I solved the buffeting issue with fork mounted lowers and a triple tree mounted wind deflector. Hopefully, I'll get similar results with the lowers and windshield on my Wide Glide.
