Fork mounted wind deflectors on a 2005 FLHRSI?
Got a 2005 Road King Custom. Trying to figure out what my options are. I tried the ones that are listed on HD's parts site (#57400146A) that are supposed to fit on mine but since I have this setup ...
... they won't fit. Believe me. I tried. Flipped them around ... swapped sides ... No dice.
Anyone have any ideas that might work that doesn't require me to fabricate one myself? I don't possess those kinds of skill

Update:
Found a fairly easy solution. The wind deflectors have two mounting holes. All I did was drill a new lower mounting hole right next the existing lower mounting hole. What this did was cause the deflector to be slightly tilted back from the turn signal. So instead of the curved portion of the deflector sitting just below the turn signal, it sits just behind the turn signal.
Since the deflectors mount directly to the fork, the windshield mounting hardware covers the mounting plate so you can't even see it has two holes in the lower portion.
Problem solved!
