Default Lower fork deflectors on a UC

I put a set of lower fork deflectors on my '09 UC...you know, the ones that aren't supposed to fit. Got 'em on and adjusted for clearance, used a Dremel and sanded the bottoms off the fairing deflectors, and can say this is what I bought a UC for to begin with. A nice bubble of air around my face and head at speeds of 70mph+.

I am one happy dude.

Mine fit fine after adjusting the mounts for the spot lights. I have about a quarter inch of clearance at full lock next to the lowers.

I have them on a '03 RK, they do hit the lowers on it but just enough to **** me off as to paint cut but it is not visible off the bike. My ride the passing lamps are set to the front mount hole of the slot to allow a DCC fairing anyway so I have plenty lamp clearance. After the fairing went on and a set of lowers came in on the cheap I do not think I will ever go back to the strip down look and may step up to a 2009 or newer Ultra.

On my RK, they will definitely tap my engine guards, and just barely miss hitting my turn signals. I would have thought they'd bang hard on those fiberglass lowers on the Ultra.
