Thank You!



Me too, what are these wondrous deflectors you all speak of? The only one's I see in the bike photos are the heat deflectors at the junction of the seat and tank.

These deflectors are for the Road glides only, not street glides or other batwings.

they snap on the top of your crash bar and the front fuel tank mounting bolt and deflect the wind up, instead of it following the lines of the fuel tank.....
