Not if you have a chrome front end kit on your bike, they blend in nicely then. Some people prefer form over function, I'm at the age now where I want to be comfortable.

 

The above post was meant for you.......

 

Personally I think that they pretty cool, like big chrome teeth.

On another note, I think that they may very weill work with the Hog Chop lowers, of which I will eventually get, and if not the chrome teeth will come off, but the teeth are highly functional I will tell you that. I did not purchase them for the looks alone.

 

LOL..... But they are very effective at reducing the wind coming up around your tank into your face.

 

Thanks for the info and the pics karbar99..... So do you have the HD ones ? or the aftermarket ones?

 

Aftermarket!

The one listed at the bottom of this page:

HD ones will not work. That's why they're not listed for the FLHX Streetglides.

 

I bought mine after market from this guy on ebay. His feedback is 99.9 too.

He does not have them for sale right now, but does much of the time. I'm sure you could email him and ask him when he will have them listed again.
Many times he will also have raw ones so you can paint them to match your bike if that is your choosing. Good luck.

 

I got mine from the same supplier on eBay. Keep watching his listings as he does have the unplated ones for sale at times, or 2nds like I scored. Had really microscopic pits in the steel only noticed after he plated a batch so he didn't want to sell at full price and he discounted them. I couldn't even SEE the pits if I didn't know they were 2nds.

I sent him a PM with a request to help with any info he can. Hopefully he can explain how he got these to work with lowers, and whether these are the HD or aftermarket variety.

 

Iclick sent me a Pm asking me to respond on this thread...happy to do so. Although it is true the Harley parts manual says the fork mount deflectors won't fit with lowers, many of us here in cold north run them both in the spring and fall, and I've mounted them on mine and helped several of my friends mount theirs. These are the Harley fork deflectors, not aftermarket

First, made sure you have them facing the right way! To fit on an Ultra with lowers, they have to be mounted as shown in the picture attached.

There may be a clearance issue with the turn signals under the spot lights, as well as the lowers. Loosen the spot lights/turnsignals on the mounting bar....you will find that the holes are elongated, allowing quite a bit of adjustment "forward." To keep from pinching off the wire, you will need a slotted socket to do this, easily made by taking a cheap socket and cutting a slot with a Dremel tool.
There is also an elongated hole on the fork deflector, as well as in the light bar where it attaches to the fork. Mount the left fork deflector loosely to the fork, and turn the handlebars full to the left. You should be able to get about 1/4" clearance between the deflector and the lowers, and also behind each turn signal, by adjusted the slots . Tighten slightly to hold in place.

Do the same for the right side. Once you have the clearance you need at both lowers, and behind both turn signals, tighten them down. After doing this, you will have to readjust your spot lights, as they may now be pointing up too high.
The fork deflectors may also have to be bent slightly along their length to get the proper clearance, as each set I've helped put on seem to have slightly different angles in the bend. You can easily do this by hand, as they bend easily.

The one thing I overlooked when first installing mine in '06, was in mounting "chrome against chrome" on the forks. When I took them off in the summer, I found the chrome on the fork was very visibly marred. I advise laying down a layer of tape before mounting to protect the underlying chrome. The plus side to my mistake, is I now have the exact mounting spot marked to reinstall them each fall !

Also, they definitely block wind getting to your engine. You can easily see the effect on oil temps if the day gets too warm (we often start a day with 40 degree temps in the morning and end with 70 plus in the late afternoon). To deal with that, run with the fairing vents open at temps above 70 degrees. I also have the Freedom Wings on the fairing, which can be adjusted to direct air flow across the top of the engine on warm days. By doing both of those things, I can keep the oil temps down to 230 degrees or less. Pictures attached:
