Be sure to check fitment. I don’t know that they make them to fit all their bikes. I ordered wrong the first time. But easy install.

I also have the Kurakyn deflector that mounts on the bottom of the triple tree you can see in the pic above. It looks like a 1/3 of a chrome pie plate. Gets rave reviews on their site, but I installed it first and saw little preceivable difference. The HD deflectors (fangs) however made a very big difference.

I'd give you a set cheap if you were local. Too hot to use with lowers down here.
..... Deflectors spoken for. Will be picked up next week .....

Based on what? The HD website says does not fit my bike. I assume they will contact the lowers in a lock to lock turn. Oops, I needed to read your full post. OK will have a look at their work around.
