Default Gads Wind Deflectore Install ?

I bought a set of the GADS wind deflectors for my 2015 Ultra Limited. Having a hell of a time getting them on the bike with out hitting the lowers when turned all the way to either direction. You would think that there would be a video around some where showing how to install these freaking things. About to blow a gasket with these little MFers.

Are you sure you bought the right ones - GADSLT14

The instructions on their website are not very detailed and I could only find a few photographs showing them installed. Have you tried contacting them?

Bob@glideairdeflectorsystem.com

Edit - Does this help?

I emailed them. I have not called them yet. I am talking about the wind deflectors that mount on the forks. I have the triple tree deflector. No problem with that. I have a feeling that they sent me the wrong ones. install instructions are very lacking.

No phone number listed on their website. Only an email address.

If you hover your mouse over the pictures on their website it zooms in to where you can see how they are installed. They go under the directional bracket on the bottom but over the directional bracket at the top.

Well, that might very well be the problem. It looks like the ones for '14 and up are contoured to miss the lowers.

I have the right ones...so it says on the website. Egads gads. I tell you what, at this point these bastards are a pain in the ***. I have tried every conceivable way way to mount these and no luck. They look very nice and would seem to do the job but not worth the grief. The manufacturer should have an install video on YouTube. Pissed.... Sorry for the vent!

I installed them correctly according to the pictures. Emailed the company along with my phone number asking for assistance. He emailed me about 12 hours later asking for pics. Sent him 4 pics and have not heard from him again. That's been 3 days ago. **** poor service. Would not recommend the product with no after the sale service and no phone number listed on the website.
