We applaud retro-fitting stuff, especially off TCs! Just need a volunteer to work it out.....

I'll trade you - the RG fairing wind deflectors, #57000063, that mount either side of the gas tank, will fit our older bikes.

I put fairing mirrors on when I did the paint job this winter on my '94 bagger. Couldn't see anything without craning and bobbing my head to try to see what was coming up behind me. I ended up putting the handle bar mirrors (with extensions) back on. I used a couple chrome socket head bolts with caps to plug the holes. Sorry I molested a pristine inner fairing.

Zbear, do you think you should have moved them higher or outside more to see better or did they just angle wrong. Do you remember what you used for a template and did the guide pin point to the outside of the fairing. thanks

I have late model Sportster "long arm" mirrors on Ester. With the stockers all I could see was my sholders.
