JES instructions clearly stated the scoop faces forward. On the gloss black, there is no unfinished side. Interesting.

Default Yep, Scoop Forward.

That is how mine is installed with the mounting leg towards the rear and specifically outside the rubber washers so the windshield can still mount.

Not trying here to detour the thread, but I installed the fangs on my 2018 FatBoy. They really helped with the buffeting. I did have to drill an extra hole for it.

Maybe this pic would be of use to someone on here.

I received mine about a week ago from JES customs. Top service. Top fit, Top Finish. Now how do they work ? AHHHH MAAAYYY ZIIINNG!!!

A taller windshield may still be on the cards, but if it wasn't the fangs have really made a huge difference. Now it totally mannerly, Like you wish everyone knew and could experience it. Thanks JES
I think the look is good too!

That Anniversary model really looks beautiful. Great color combo. I wonder how it would look with white walls?

I had those things on my 2k Heritage for about 2 rides. Ugly and useless to me. The fangs...not the ‘18 Heritage 😉

I just ordered mine. As soon as I get them and install them, I'll have a full report. I tend to ride at higher speeds and the wind noise is deafening.

I got my fangs yesterday and for me, it made a significant difference. Definitely cleaner air behind the windshield. Got it up to about 90. I'll be taking it on a longer ride today.
