I bought the 08 adjustable ones and they came with a FREE Ultra Classic, gotta love free stuff

Now that it's getting hot (finally) I love the adjustable wings, wouldn't be with out them.

just leave the 4th screw out 3 hld em just fine . freedom wing fit is HORRIBLE !!!!! took em back and got the 08

Freedom Wings fit perfectly if installed properly. You probably mounted them upside down, which I reluctantly admit that I did at first. They do fit upside down, but not well, and the telltale is if they make contact with the fairing at any time during their movement.

Adjustable Air Deflector Kit

Those are the ones I have on my 07 and they only have 3 holes (AND they're adjustable).

THIS kit for the 2008 may have 4 holes (can't really see them since they're mounted) and appear to be non-adjustable.

Maybe get the ones designed for your year? Yeh, that'd probably work best.

The kit for '08's has 4 holes an IS adjustable, but fit's pre-08's just fine.&nbsp\\; Clean look appealed to me.

I just order them and should receive them tomorrow.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; How do I know if they are upside down?&nbsp\\; Any close up pictures?

Similar to the old vent windows on cars prior to 1970 or so, You can close them,No flow or adjust them for the amount of air on You!
They will bolt right up to Your standard fairing.

Sure, go for it. There are lots of upgrades I've made you can't see. I would post them here but the message will crash. You know, SNAFU.

Are these really worth it?

Do they stop THAT much air?

Just wondering. I ain't crazy about the looks but if it's worth it......
