I just bought these 58125-90B for my 08 Heritage. They were not so easy to install. It seems they are too tight against the turn signals. Do the signals need to be adjusted?
Any help is appreciated.

I'm getting ready to put mine back on. They're close to the t/sigs, but don't touch. They're on n off in under 10 min. I also have two windshields. The HD Access 3" lower (slightly tinted) one, and one that I had trimmed 4 1/2". The latter is great for summer. I'll put the taller of the two on when I put my deflectors back on (Prob this week end.)

Well, I left them on but they are really tight against the signals. I hate to think I purchased something that is supposed to fit and have to modify it for a proper installation. I may need to file the mounting holes to make them longer or something. It just doesnt seem right.
By the way, I rode to work this morning 45 degrees and no face mask - They do seem to work!

I couldn't get them mounted at all when i tried them on the opposite side. The signal was WAY too close and I couldn't get the bottom bolt started. I'll try again when I get home this evening.
Thanks

Well I have them on my bike, with no help at all from the dealer. I stopped by yesterday to have them take a look. Parts dude said they should fit, service wanted to charge me to even look at it. "We can adjsut the lights but..."
Kinda pi$$es me off. They are ready to sell but not help with little task that should be a normal bolt on item.
Oh Well, just ranting!!!

My O7 Heritage already had the wind deflectors installed when I bought the bike and I was grateful for them. I replaced the standard windshield with the lightly smoked shorter windshield and continue to get very little buffetting. I like 'em.
