Default air deflectors

I have a 06 Street Glide and i have new air deflectors for the fairing and a fork baffle. Could somebody help with instructions on how to install these. The Harley instructions are vague. Pictures would help a lot. Thanks or maybe even a forum sight that somebody shows how to do this. I looked on this sight but could not find any info.

I have a 08 SG and installed the fork baffle. All you do with that is take out the 2 exsisting bolts under the sterring collumn and place the baffle over the holes and reinstall the new longer bolts. You will have 2 bolts supplied, I went and bought a 3rd because there are 3 hols there. Do you need 3 probably not. Hope this helps. I was looking at the air deflectors but not sure they will install on our SG, would like to know.

On my 09-The air deflectors bolted into the inner fairing. There were small bolt hole covers I had to remove first.

Sounds like the 09's are different than the 08's for the baffle.

Fork baffle on the 09 gets mounted on the back side of the bottom triple tree. 3 holes only outside 2 are used w/2 supplied bolts. Clean up threads w/tap first.

Fairing deflectors - pop out the 3 lower plugs. Supplied thumb screws go clockwise to tighten ;~)>

yep, on the 08 the baffle also mounts to the back side of the lower triple tree with two bolts, although i also used three just cause there were three tapped holes. as far as the fairing deflectors, very simple, pop out the plastic plugs first, and there are four screw holes per deflector. with mine i had to use a 10-24 tap first as the screw holes didn't seem as though they were tapped for threads. and the 10-24 was the size and thread that the screws were that came with the deflectors. hope this is helpfu.
