Fairing wings

I recently installed some of those adjustable HD fairing wings on my EC and they vibrate. Does anyone have any solutions or are they junk?

Mine don't vibrate at all. I installed the '08 style on my '07 and had to drill a hole for the top screw, solid as a rock.

I also installed them on my '07 Ultra that they aren't supposed to fit. They may vibrate as much as the whole bike vibrates but no more. I'm a big fan.

I haven't had any issues with them vibrating. However, I have had 2 of them crack at the upper pivot. I used a little Gorilla Glue to glue the pivot back together and then a little bit of black fingernail polish to hide the glue.

Have you had any problem with fairing brackets? Was wondering if there is a connection between vibration/fairing bracket problems/HD adjustable air deflector problems.

Within the first few months my original wings cracked at the upper pivot point (both of them) when one broke loose I checked the other, it was cracked.
Replaced them and haven't had a problem since. I haven't had fairing bracket issues either. (Its an '08 with the stock wings).

Mine came with the bike, but I have never had vibration, and yes, they do help in directing the air.
