The concave side goes forward, it literally scoops the air when installed properly.

If you dont mind me asking, what does it run to get the fangs powder coated. I have a chrome set but I have gone black.

The place I went has a $99 minimum but they cut me a deal at $75. I think it would normally be about half that but since they blast and coat I am fine with paying extra. Harley doesn't make them so I have to do what I have to do.

the chrome is not as shiny on the backside of these. I am confident that the ones pictured are installed the correct way. The diagram above definitely shows that the opposite direction though.
