I like the looks of the Freedom Wings more. They are very effective.

Doesn't appear to be much of an appearance difference between the Freedom Wings (below/left) and the '08 and later Harley version (below/right). I actually felt the Harley version looked (support) more sturdy than the Freedom Wings so I modified my '07 fairing to accomodate the 4 bolt Harley '08 mounting pattern. Not a big job. Both adjustable deflectors can be adjusted to any position thru out the range of motion (no ratchet settings). The one advantage the Freedom Wings offer is a version for pre '08 fairings without any fairing modification. They look a lot alike to me.

Yes, they look similar. If anything the Freedom wings look a little larger perhaps.

Thanks for all the replies! This really helps.

Thumbs up +1 Freedom Wings

I have the Freedom Wings on my '07.....they work great. I believe they are a little larger as they will hit on the lowers when the handlebar is all the way to the left in the locked 'parked' position. I really love them on those hot summer days!!
