The HD ones won't fit? Don't tell my bike that;



I'm 6'7", and the fangs, while ugly, are the best thing I've done to the bike for comfort. They're never coming off. The HD ones do look better than the others though.

The Harley fangs will fit the 14-15 street glides with no modifications at all but will not fit the 14-15 ultra limited without modifications. They need to be cut or ground so they will fit around the turn signal lights. The turn signal lights are different between the two models.

I didn't mean to say that they won't fit. There just isn't one listed through hd that says that it will fit 2015. But obviously it will fit.
I have to agree the hd ones do look better than the others.

Goose or flybywire. I'm looking in my complementary hd catalog. It looks like part number 57400146A . Is that the correct part?

The Harley fork wind deflectors did the most on my bike to quiet the wind.

Here's my follow up. First I'd like to thank everyone for your input. This is a great forum.
My local dealer had the fork wind deflectors in stock so I picked them up today. I am going to admit, I installed the first one on the wrong side. Checked the clearance and it hit the engine guard. I thought it looked better sweeping back. But anyway. Took it for a ride after proper install. Wow, what a difference. I think I'm getting a little less wind on my knees and the buffeting that I was experiencing is GONE. there is also a little less wind in my face. Anyone that is experiencing buffeting on a street glide get an aftermarket windshield (mine is a long ride shield) and the fork wind deflectors. What an improvement!!
