Got some 1/2 price. Not worth the effort to make them at that price. Would not be hard to do though.

To the OP, thanks a lot man, you just cost me 70 bucks. I wasn't even thinking about buying these until I read this thread.

I want to get in a lot of Fall riding though, so based on all the glowing recomendations, I just ordered a set.

I've got to stop reading this forum, it's getting expensive

My 99 heritage had them on there when I bought it. I took them off because I didnt really like how they looked but they definitely helped block the wind.

Just installed these on my 2011 Heritage and they were a real PITA. I have the passing lamps with the turn signals mounted below them.

I had to grind out the holes so they would clear the turn signals and mount parallel with the forks.

Got it done, but took a lot longer than what it should have. I'll be trying them out tomorrow.

Default Memphis Shades Lowers or Harley Chrome Lowers
Just bought a 2011 Deluxe and experience the buffeting. Has anyone tried BOTH deflectors? Does one work better than the other. Not sure to crazy about the "fangs" look. Would prob like the clear lowers from Memphis shades but they do not go as low as the Harley chrome ones.
