Question Curved - fork deflectors

I see that a lot of you are putting the HD and the JES fork wind deflectors on your Touring bikes, EGs, RKs, SGs, ect.. Will these not fit on the RGs too? Do the RGs not have the same bolt pattern on the forks as the others? This I do no know as I have never checked.
BTW I have lowers on my SERG.
Thanks in advance

They do not have the same mounting system and since the shark nose does not move with forks, there would be interference.

So I guess what you are saying is that other than the deflectors possibly hitting the stationary fairing, the mounting, bolt pattern, is different, longer/shorter? I realize there maybe a contact problem with the fairing, that does not concern me at this point, but the mounting part, i.e., bolt line up is a concern.
Thanks for your feed back.

Where the bolt pattern falls really isn't a big deal if you have a drill...

Here's what the Parts Manual says:

57400146

WIND DEFLECTOR,CHROME,TOURING

Fits: FITS 95-LATER flht,flhs,flhr,flhrc,flhtc and flhx models. Does not fit models equipped with fairing lowers, lighted for slider kit or custom auxiliary lighting brackets p/n 69227-04A and 6800043

Guess it kind of leaves off FLTRU - Road Glide.

When I had my 2010 RG, I installed the snap-on plastic fairing deflectors HD sells, and hard lowers over the engine bars. The design of the fairing helped with the flow the fork lowers deflect on the batwings and RK's, and the hard lowers took care of most of the rest.

If you notice in my picks I have those clip on deflectors but I was looking for a little more.
