The freedom wings sure look good on the bike.  Has anyone approached the dealer to see if they'll offer a discount to members of this site?

[h82lose]

does anyone know the size of the bolt that goes into the inner fairing to hold on the wings as i have a set coming in and want to get the bolts to install them.  [smiley=confused5.gif] [smiley=confused5.gif] [smiley=nixweiss.gif] [smiley=drink.gif] [smiley=beerchug.gif]

I believe the screws are 10/32 screws X 3/4" long, but I will check for sure at lunch and post the result...   The Harley wings came with the screws, but the freedom wings did not have them.    Nice quality item too, they look just about like the harley item, but the functionality is head and shoulders above...    [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

What about interference with the tank, neck, etc. on tight turns?

Caution / If the wings are opened really wide they will contact the tank when the bars are swung full left to lock the forks.

Dont ask how I know [smiley=oops.gif]

If I remember right, those screws are 10/24

jmorton10 is correct. The package states to use the 10-24 x 3/4" screw.

I've got a set of these things on the way too.  Just noticed this thread.  

Already had the cheap little solid piece HD "wings" mounted but these things just looked so much more functional when I saw them.  One hint from my own experience mounting the other type.  Before you put them go down to the plumbing section at Lowes or Home Depot (or wherever) and get some of those hard plastic/rubber faucet washers of a size to match the screws.  Use them as an insulator between the wing mount and the inner fairing.  Saves your paint.

I have to stop reading this site it is costing me money. You guys are finding all the trick parts. I ordered a set of wings and a set of screws today. Will have to get rubber washers. The guy I spoke with is JIM they have great customer service. Called my house after I placed order online and said parts were on the way. I gave him this web site. He said that his company will be at Surgis this year. I'll bet he might do a group buy.

LOL, Jerry!  You are not alone (see my signature) . . . .

Don't feel alone Jerry.  I only had a small pile of parts already picked out before the bike arrived; then I found this site.......  You'll find that everyone here is mean, evil, diabolical and tempting of all sorts of evil parts and accessories.

You'll also find that the members on this site are also not "wrapped too tight" as evidenced by a million dollars worth of bikes sitting in the parking lot at Maggie Valley, rain coming down in buckets and everybody smiling, laughing and having a great time.  What a "shrinks dream" this place is!!!!

But BLM, we were all drinking Mike's beer.  Of course we were having a good time  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Three cheers for Mike from Texas !!

By the way, he should be up in the Sturgis area for a ride with some buddies right now.  There's a chance I'll get to see him Saturday in Topeka.  He was hoping to stop by the Kansas state rally there on his home from the Dakotas.

Have to order the bolts seperately. They are cheap like bag for $1 dollar

Has anybody ordered the wings from Kuryaken yet?

My Freedom Wings arrived in the mail today.  Got to put them on real quick this evening before leaving for Topeka in the morning.  What's Kuryakyn got?
