Default Deluxe wind deflectors

I want to add a set of fork mounted wind deflectors to my Deluxe, but they aren't listed for the 08's. When I searched on this, I found some folks had the wind deflectors on their Deluxes, so I'm wondering if they will fit despite what the HD parts catalog shows, or do they need to be modified? I just don't want to order these and not be able to make them work. Thanks for your help!

I picked mine up at the dealer, but I&nbsp\\;think&nbsp\\;they are Kuryakyn.

Do they bolt right on, or did you have to modify anything?

They should just bolt right on. Harley hasnt changed anything on the 08 FL front end. &nbsp\\;Check the book for the headlight tins. You should see that they go all the way back to the mid 80s. You could always ride by the dealer and ask them to show you how they fit. Most dealers keep them in stock so that you can check how they fit and look.

Thanks for the help - the dealer doesn't have them and said I'd probably have to do a mod to make them fit, but they couldn't be more specific. I'll just order a set and give it a shot. Other folks have them on Deluxes, so I should be able to make it work.
Thanks Again!

I've never compared a Deluxe to a Fat Boy front end.... wonder if they're the same???? I put the HD wind deflectors on my '08 Fatty.

I just put Deluxe smooth tins on my Heritage and re-installed the lowers with no problems. Should work fine.

They just bolt on, no mods needed. Took me a couple of tries to get it right though.
