Harley Fork Mounted Wind Deflectors for FLHX
#12
I think that would involve a complete re-design in the fairing. That is the one things Victory has over HD. A fairing which makes the ride more comfortable, not less.

I have been wanting to put lower fork wind deflectors on my Street Glide, but not happy with what was out there in the marketplace. Harley made them for the Road King, but not for the SG. I was in the dealer today, and was looking on the accessory wall, and a set of deflectors caught my eye. They looked to be different than the RK model. I noticed the picture with the bullet turn signals and ripped the box off the wall to read the label. And to my excitement, the label included FLHX on it. YES!!! Harley listened to us bitch, and factory wind deflectors are now available for the Batwing FL's. the part # is 57400146.

Went I got home, I immediately went out and installed them. Then out for a test ride. WOW. What a difference. No more buffeting like before. With my 7" LRS Recurve Shield, I no longer fight the wind. I do get a little more wind at the bottom of my legs. But it's not a problem. One of,the better $90 Harley parts I have invested in.

I did this and Yes it goes behind and Yes I used the stock bolts. Actually I believe the top bolt does not even come out u loosen the bolt and slide the top of the deflector in the bolt.
