I would like to put a set of those chrome fork wind deflectors on my street glide. I found a post for it back in Oct 10 where people were getting them from a guy off Ebay. He doesn't seem to be there any longer. Anyone know a source for them?
Energy, I have been tracking those as well. I have came close to clicking on a set. The only thing holding me back was looking at the ones people on the site got look a little different and have a little lip that goes along the bottom of the fairing. I wasn't sure if those were made with a little bit different of a mount not requiring cutting for the blinkers. The ones on ebay right now are the stock HD parts cut out. If I can't find any others I will get a set from that guy.
Zimbob, the factory ones from the dealer won't work on the street glide with the stock blinkers because they are in the way.
I was struggling with turbulance on my bike until I did the following:
1. The deflector under the triple clamp, helped some.
2. Proper height windshield so the wind didn't hit me from the neck up, helped a bunch. (Stock Streetglide windshields sure look cool but fairly useless for me)
3. The defelctors that mount on the lower sides of the fairing, made a huge difference, the stereo sounds twice a loud on the highway.
I had been looking at the deflectors on Ebay because my Dad had some on a Yamaha like that and they worked great. At this point I don't think I need them now.
I appreciate all the info. The guy on Ebay just posted some more of them today. I ordered a set tonight. My dad also had them on his Yamaha Royal Star and I just thought they looked cool.

You bet! Cool you found some, let me know what they did for you air wise when you get them.
