08 adjustable air deflectors
Loved the look of the adjustable air deflectors on the new 08 dressers. Harley says the wouldn't fit older bikes but the only thing you have to do is drill a hole in the inner fairing for the top bolt. I just dropped the outer fairing back, resting it against towels on the passing lights. This gave me enought room to put a nut on the top screw. They work great. Giving a lot of air. Took about 30 mins. I like it when you can add looks and gain comfort. Dark smoked #58156-08, light smoked #58166-08.

Or buy the Freedom Wings or Kurys Dragon Wings that fit the '07s and earlier

Harley deflector
They look an awful like don't ya think? If HD didn't get them from Freedom Wings, seems like they have a patent fight on their hands.

RE: 08 adjustable air deflectors
I too thought the 08 deflector looked great and more funtional than the dragon wings by H-D or Kuriakin. I have the H-D fugleys and would much rather go with the 08 version. any chance you can send me or us a pics of your conversion?

They may look alike from the outside, but I think Harley went one up on the design. They are more impressive up close.[/align]
