asy-to-install, these snap-fit Wind Deflectors reduce and redirect the air flow that rises between the fairing and fork tubes. The resulting reduction in updraft can dramatically reduce buffeting for many riders. Stock on '11 CVO™ Road Glide®.

57000063


Fits '09-later FLTR and FLTRU models. (Will not fit models equipped with the Fuel Tank retrofit mounting kit.)

MSRP US $29.95



Think they will work? For $30 I might find out soon.

 

..... the MoCo must be reading the Forums to be thinking up new accessories to reduce 'buffetting'.

..... Willie, if yer reading this, ...ya'll done good w/the RGU ...... paint one of'm yellow next year !

 

What do they mean by "Fuel Tank retrofit mounting kit"? Is that the tank mount recall we had on our 09's?

 

I honestly have no idea, but I would have to assume so. I'm still going to give them a try and see what happens.

 

+1 on that question??? If that's the case, that's messed up!

 

It makes no sense that the fuel tank recall issue has anything to do with these wind deflectors. JMHO

I'm with y'all even though I have no idea if my new 2010 (just bought it 3 weeks ago) was built during those times or has the tweak. Pretty cheap parts and a simple mod might make 'em work anyway.

ETA: I've tried to spot how they fit by looking at the 360's for both the 2011 FLTRX and the Ultra version - no luck.

ETA2: Duh... see "View 2" - between the engine guard and the bottom of the tank.

 

ordered mine today. will give a report once they're installed and i go out on the interstate. been fighting the wind for almost 2 years. after many windshields the v-stream has helped the most and hogg chopps helped quite a bit too.

 

That's nuts. Would someone at HD get an intern or the VP of Engineering on this soon?

 

My "retro-kit" blocks fall off every time I pull my tank (thinking of using some silicone next time). These must interfere with those blocks??
