Default RE: Wind Deflectors, Quick Release

No problems to date! I've had her on the freeway a few times! You may notice the forks are not lower than normal. They are however about 1/2 inch wider than the normal mount. This is due to spacers I added so the deflecters will miss the mount bolts for the quick release windshield!


New Years day was unusually warm and sunny here! 48 degrees! I popped the windhield and deflecters off in seconds and had a great ride!

Now its raining and they are back on the bike. I love it!

Interesting idea. My only input would be to check it over time and see if there is any cracking in the plexi around the mounting points due to any stress caused by 'flexing' of the lowers at speed. Besides that it looks fine - Good Luck!
