No chit! I'd like to get rid of the head bobble but not completely ruin the look of the bike in the process.

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 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 just ordered mine and hope they work for me also. Can't take the wobbling glasses anymore from the updraft of wind! I should get them in the next few days...

Do you have photos of your bike with them on? I just got mine today, but it looks like they need to go behind the metal plate (that the blinker is attached to) right? If they go behind the metal plate are the stock bolts long enough to re-attach?

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.
