Fairing Wings
Has anyone mounted the 08 adjustable wings/vents on an 07 or earlier? Looks as though it would only require a hole drilled at the top mounting point.. Well anyone!!!!

RE: Fairing Wings
Why would you do that ? The 08's have 4 holes the 07's and earlier three holes get the right ones? I put em on my 08 Dresser with the right ones and the screws go into threaded brass inserts on \\;the inner fairing! If you drilled another hole how would the added srew \\;stay in?? I dont look to make extra work or start trouble for myself!! Or is it just me? Bill

Yes, just yesterday, in fact. \\; 3 screws holding them on right now, I'll drill out the 4th and put a nut on the backside next time I pull the fairing off. \\; They look good and function well!

You would do that because the '08 models are a much better design than the '07's IMHO
Great question
I believe it has been done
Very interested in the details

I have them on my 07 ultra they mount just fine using the 3 holes you just dont have a bolt on the top. They are nice and tight that way dont see a reason for a 4th bolt. I like them you can direct the air real nice.
