Bat wing deflectors...Freedom Wing vs MOCO
I checked past posts and couldn't find where anyone had asked for opinions on which is best....Freedom Wings or Harley Davidson adjustable bat wing wind deflectors. Anybody had one, and then switched to the other? Why?

The original wings on my Ultra both broke in the same place (the cup that fits over the top pin) at about the same time (7 months). The replacements are still OK after 2 years so they may have improved something.

Freedom Wings. And if you don't have a Street Glide, you can get Freedom Wings Plus for that little area between the upper deflectors and lower fairings. A little turbulent area that the MOCO hasn't discovered yet.

The upper pivot broke on one of mine on my 08UC but I was able to gorilla glue it back and it still works and is still holding a year later. If it breaks again I think I will go with the freedom wings before the stock. They look good and it's hard to buy the same junk that might break again for that price.
