I have flat lenses, but the surround is a round shape - and it protrudes too far back and its in the way of installing the wind deflectors. Pain in the ****!

I assume the turn indicator is similar to the pic above?

Yeah. Looks like you'll have the same problem as mine. I'll give it another shot tomorrow but I'm not hopeful at this point. I think I may have to bend the deflector a little to get the wiggle room behind the turning indicator.

This pic from someone posted earlier this year should help w/the install of the Wind Deflectors. Best pic I've seen yet. Wish I had it earlier!

A pic would be awesome! I just realized that the pic I saw above has the turn signals on the bars instead of down in front. I can't get mine to line up worth a damn behind the round turning signals.

I hate my windshield but I wouldn't ride on the highway at 70 mph without it.
I can't believe somebody hasn't come up with something better looking and better areodimanics.
But then that's just me.

There isn't a lot of wind getting by the windshield on the OL's Roadking, but the vacuum behind it pulls my beard up into my eyes. I really hate that!
