HD sells the chrome fork mounted wind deflectors. They claim not to work with lower fairings. However, do a search on here as this was discussed and some folks run them with lower fairings with no issues.

Kuryakyn Fork Mounted Variable Wind Deflectors
Has anyone tried the Kuryakyn Fork Mounted Variable Wind Deflectors on an Electra Glide yet? I have the H-D Chrome fork mount deflectors on my 2009 FLHT and like them a lot, but using them results in a lot of engine heat in the summer. The Kuryakyns have vents that open and close. Seems like it would be the best of both worlds. Any info would be appreciated.

Gotta follow this one. I'm still trying options to stay dry in the rain and warmer in the winter on my 08. I just added the Freedom Wings and Plus wings but it hasn't been cold or got caught in the rain yet.
It is supposed to rain this evening and tomorrow. Do I REALLY want to ride in the rain if I don't have to???

Well ....... You could be in Michigan where they're saying more snow is on the way!
P.S. I love the picture of your old sporty. I had a 76 XLCH that was a great scooter.

I have them on my 2010 Limited with lowers. Took some left over auto rubber door trim that had self adheasive tape on one side and stuck that on the deflectors to fill in the gap between the forks and the deflectors. Also put a small piece on the inside back edge where the left deflector comes real close to touching the left lower when locking the forks, to protect the painted lower just in case it would touch.
The deflectors work great in reducing the wind, your music and exhaust sound better with the deflectors on, and if your also running with hard lowers you'll find that they provide an additional benefit of reducing the rain water on your legs, you'll find that you won't need to stop to put your rain pants on. With my old Roadking (that did not have hard lowers or fork air deflectors) from my knees down would be soaked by the time I'd find a place to safely stop. I hate putting on rain pants on the side on the road.
