Lower Wind Deflectors Installed 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
I installed my lowers this week. They are HD, but I really liked them, so made them fit. Others mount them on the outside of their brackets, but I modified them to fit under my windshield brackets. I made a bracket to help keep it up tight to the fork leg. Not a very good pic.
Let me know what you think.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Re:Lower Wind Deflectors Installed 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
The way I had to mount them leaves a little space at the top, but tucks them up closer to the forks. I'd like to find a set of Wind Whippers, or make a set similar, to mount in that area.

Hey Doc,
I hear ya on the polish/chrome front end. Funny how one thing leads to another, and it never ends.


Hey Flash,
Yea, it's zip tied to my Linby bars. Easy on, easy off. I use them on the really cooold days!! My way of winterizing my bike. I made them taller to cover more area, to fill in the notched out area. I only use them a day or two at a time. It's supposed to be up to 45 here today, so they won't be on there.
I usually carry the vinyl chaps in my bags in case of rain.

It's sad from a financial prespective, but there is some level of truth in that statement.
