I've got the Freedom Wings. Love 'em. One of the best investments I've made for my FLHT.

Yea, the new ones. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

Like the Freedom wings but look a little cleaner to me.

The New ones form Harley look really good. You can direct the air were you want it.

On pre 08 bikes you have to drill anotherhole in the inner fairing, not a big deal.
Huh?

Had 'em on my '06 and now on my '07. Didn't have to drill holes; they're already there with screws in them.

BTW, love 'em. They cut down on buffeting a good deal.

EDIT: Okay, maybe you're talking about something new that just came out for the '08s. My bad.

Okay, cool.
They look like the Freedom Wings I had on my SG. Didn't use the adjustable function of those; I kept 'em down all the time, even in hot weather. And sometimes they'd open up on their own from the vibration. So on my '07 Iwent withthe fixed HD ones. They work just as well for buffeting.
Just a consideration.

I have the Harley non adjustable lightly smoked ones. I'm too stupid to know if they work or not but they look cool.

I got the HD adjustable ones for the 06. I really like them. Great for giving me some added air when going through the city and then close them up when getting up to interstate speeds to cut down on the buffeting.

Freedom Wings, Under Clamp baffle, and Mid Frame Mounted Heat Deflectors all three (3) work well together.

No issues drilling extra holes on the 06 Cop Glide

These supposedly only fit '08's. I wonder what would make them unusable for earlier models. I need to look at a set to find out.
