deflectors
Has anyone seen the clear ones? Acrylic I assume, I had seen them on a metric bike and really had to look to see them then. That would the best if they made some that you could only see the mounts and not the deflectors, surely someone does....anybody??anybody??

Wind Deflectors
Installed on my Fat Boy last fall. Installation was tricky with the windshield and turn signals, but eventually worked. Made probably a 80% reduction in buffeting. Money well spent.

I went to the Memphis Shade web site....hard to tell how they would go on my '09 Fat Boy...I was going to just buy the HD lower deflectors to help take some of the turbulence off my legs at highway speeds...but I am still not sure about the fang look and chrome..any more pics of the HD deflectors on your bikes would be great especially a Fatty....the clear one's from Memphis work well for the shin?

You installed them on the incorrect sides. They DO fit. My buddy and I both made the same mistake. it LOOKSlike it the correctside, but if you switch them, they look great, and work awesome.

thanks...so for $92...the cost of them now it will take some of the wind off my shins that often makes it quite interesting for me to even shift or brake because of the wind pressure I am getting while on the road...? Worth it?

But they're so ugly. That being said if I knew they would substantially reduce the buffeting I get at high speeds I would probably consider them. Especially for road trips.
