I was able to run down there, stop at ACE, install them on my bike, all within a hour start to finish. I'm not a patient man. I did a quick test ride and they would occasionaly vibrate. I saw that someone else had a vibration problem and used "rubber fender washers" between the mount and the lowers to remove the vibration. Anyone know of a part number, or where to find them? Jeff No part number, I just bought them at the local hardware store. Very thin ones. It worked very nicely. Just a thin rubber fender washer. It was like 29 cents each. I used 4 of them.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #124352 406shark (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 63 Re:HD chrome lowers 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   Thank you sir.

I followed your instructions exactly and had them mounted in minutes. Thanks. But yeah, the vibration won't do.....really pretty bad at 65mph, a speed I try to use often Did the rubber washers do the trick?

I installed the rubber washers Sunday, but have not had a chance to test them out yet. Sorry. Hopefully I'll get a chance later in the week.

Also I don't like the fact that the angle on the lowers don't match the forks like on an HD. I'm thinking of either making a 1/2x1 inch long spacer or cutting the tab off and drilling the second hole from the bottom.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #125215 Knightman (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 125 Re:HD chrome lowers 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   I drilled another hole in the bottom of the lowers ...so they would line up with the forks...Since I have put on yami lowers...think ill go back to the hd.. they work better and vibrate less   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #125233 N56629 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:HD chrome lowers 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   Anyone trying the 58125-90b deflector?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #126958 MS1700 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 266 Re:HD chrome lowers 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   The rubber washers are just rubber washers, any nuts and bolts store will have them, just ask and they will point you to a selection. Get same size as your washers just rubber. I did the install, after 100 miles of riding I could not find Chrome spacers, nor chrome OR SS nuts and bolts. I had to use off the shelf nuts and bolts and a Nylon spacer. I need a little wider spacer to move the tips of the Wind Deflectors more towards the inboard side of forks. Once I get all what I need figured out I'll have to order Chrome hardware. The vibration is only at certain speeds and goes away when you speed up. I did not drill or cut anything, it just fit.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/10/06 06:36 By MS1700.   Experience is a tough way to learn ... because, you get the test first and the lesson afterwards.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
