search my user name . I have done lexan fork mounted wind deflectors. I made a set years ago for my honda shadow and i tried them or a version of them on my glide classic and they really do work. I took mine off last summer and in october I realized id wished they were back on for the cold color tour ride 
.. Mine were clear but smoke is just as easy to make . I never had a chance to try them on an ultra but they flex enough that I dont think they would hurt the lowers but they would hit them at times. I also didnt have a street glide available to try to work up a pattern for them.. Maybe now that I have a job again I should work on the equipment I need to start making these? at one time I offered a set for someone to try but no one took me up on it ! I can find my pics again if there is some interest and we can go from there. I know how to make them but id have to buy the material and the equipment i need but before I lay out the cash Id like input on if its a worth while move.. To the forum moderators this is once again just a check to see if there is interest . If there is I will not sell or try to sell on this board till I have everything cleared with you . I sure dont want to make anyone mad . If we have enough interest I will take it to a higher level .

If you decide to make them and if you could make a set matching the color and shape of the Freedom Wings (I have the black ones) I'd be definitely interested in buying a set. Also, I never cared for the gap between the edge of the chrome fork deflector and the fork tube. I know the bracket creates an offset but the deflector could be shaped in such a way that the gap is eliminated.
Keep up posted on your progress.

Ok let me work on is as soon as i get time .. we had a problem yesterday and now my dog has a splint up to her shoulder and im out 313.00 for now 
... I am interested in marketing these and I think I could sell them reasonably but you have to remember nothing is cheap anymore. hell shipping kills most all the good deals !.. I do think they look better than harleys chrome stuff . chrome is cool but it must be properly placed to work as eye candy also.. Oh ignore the dog comment if your thinking Im broke Ha ha.. Its just a set back in time and now we have to baby sit a bit to get her back in the game .. I am going to research the equipment i need again this week/weekend .
Im on it guys ........
