#473925 BlackRain (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 961 Re:HD wind deflectors on the Road Star? 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Here is a few pictures of mine installed. It was from a Roadking with only 2 mounting holes. I cut the top part off and mounted it to the bottom hole with chrome washers and a black rubber washer and its been on for 5000 miles and all good. It works good enough for me for now.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #473927 COBRA_COMMANDER (User) Cobra Commander Wants You!

I put mine on but only have about 2000 miles on them. No cracks so far. I got a chrome spacer, think it was about 1/2 inch. I also put some rubber washers behind to dampen the vibration a little. Thank you.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #473928 COBRA_COMMANDER (User) Cobra Commander Wants You!

When I remounted them I incorporated rubber washeers and plastic spacers. I think they should work another season without further cracking........still going to build a set like Curt's, though. BTW the relief cracks are nearly invisible since they are on the mounting side of the lowers. Me and the guy watching me are the only ones that know they exist....well now all of you know..........dammit Thank you for the reply. Where did you pick up the plastic spacers and rubber washers, Home Depot/Lowes?

They never cracked, I guess because of the doubled up mounting.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #474081 Silverado (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 452 Re:HD wind deflectors on the Road Star? 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Here is a few pics of my lowers mounted. The one taken from the rear shows the chrome spacer up top with a couple rubber washers behind a chrome washer. Hope this helps. Here you go.

I have a good idea now of how they should go. I almost installed them backwards Where did you find the nice chrome spacers?

Menards is also now carrying a pretty good selection of chrome hardware. You will like them. Before I installed them I couldn't ride over about 50 mph. The wind came up and bounced my glasses all over my nose.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #474131 COBRA_COMMANDER (User) Cobra Commander Wants You!
