RE: Chrome Wind Deflectors

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to extend the turn signals on the Street Glide to accomodate these chrome deflectors. The whole bullet turn signal is in the way.

I've added the bullet turn signals to my RK. After the install I realized I can't use the wind deflectors with them. <crap> When I look at the deflectors it looks like there should be a way to mount them (maybe behind the bracket, instead of on top???).
I sent an e-mail to Memphis Shades to see if their lowers would work - they don't make a mounting bracket for the RK. <strike 2>
Does anyone else make wind deflectors for the RK? I may have to invent something myself. Based on the many discussions about devices for blocking wind to reduce turbulence, I will probably get rich overnight. (Begin holding breath now...)

I have them on my Ultra and the wife's Heritage. We both wouldn't ride without them!
A point of information, they fit the opposite way on a Softail than they do on a bagger. Weird but true. The edges turn forward on one and back on the other.

RE: Chrome Wind Deflectors
Thanks guys, now something else I have to buy. I just ordered the chrome deflector that fits between the forks, 10 days.
My recurve windshield and HD fair pouch will be here in a couple weeks.
Now I know I NEED these.
Can't tell you how hard I laughed when one guy at work said he was going to buy a bike to save money.

I have mine on an 07 Street Glide. They go under the bracket holding the turn signals and do not interfere with any wiring. They do vibrate against the back of the turn signal so I bent them just a little bit. They do however impact the engine guard so that the bike can't be locked. I liked the deflectors more than the engine guard so I removed it. The deflectors bend pretty easily so you need to be gentle.
