Default New mid-frame air deflectors

Saw these while browsing the new parts catalog. They look similar to the Kuryakyn saddle shields. And they are surprisingly less expensive.

I have noticed that whenever the MOCO and Kury have the same item, it's cheaper from the MOCO. I beleive Kury does a lot of the chrome stuff for Harley and has to sell higher on any item that Harley also sells. JMHO.

Did they alter the price?In the '07 catalog they were more expensive than the Kuryakyns. Part number? Price? Also, I heard they don't fit well on the Road Glide you were considering. People have told me there were "fitment" issues...

Oh I am not considering them for myself. Just putting it out there for those who may be interested. I'm used to the heat on the back of my thighs. I get it on my 06 with the D&D Fat Cat.

And I didn't realize they were in the 07 book. The 08 book says available September 2007. I assumed it was a brand new part.

monstermile, they've been online for a bit, i think it was a mid-year addition thing. One of those things they send to owners during the year in the flyers.

Could be that those fitment issues have been resolved with the newer 07+ bikes, and hence the new availability date. Probably the reason for the "A" revision.

Ahh ok. Should've realized the revision part was the one being released in Septermber. My mistake.

I have the Kuryakyn one's, had them for about 2 years now. Makes a big difference here in florida in the summer sitting at some very long lights.

It also says in the description that that WON'T FIT if you have a adjustable riders backrest. Hopefully because of the adjusting assembly and not the mounting assembly.
