Completely different part # for the soft tails. Isn't this the touring forum?

This is how I mounted them on my 2011 RKC.


The top angles back, the sides angle forward. As you can see in the bottom photo, if the were mounted the other way they would hit the crash bars(if you have stock crash bars, I don't). They must be right because I could tell the difference right away.

To put a fine point on it, maybe that would be a "hole"? Words matter.

HD wind deflectors notwithstanding, buy these and you need no instructiions for the correct installation. They work extremely well, and the price is right. Web site says he's out of stock, but I bet he'll have more later. These are the real deal..they work very well.

That's what I said, "just the opposite".

The good news is there are only two ways of fitting them. I had a set and one side had a better finish than the other, which seemed clear to me at the time!

Has anyone come across a short version that can be used with the engine bar mounted fogs?
