When they snap onto the engine guard, you push them back and the top rests on the bolt head.  It's the same position as if the deflector snapped tight onto the bolt.  Once the wind start pushing on them, they are seated and can't move.

What did you do with the top snap cut it off? If I let the snap rest on the bolt it will push the deflector out of position??

Slid it onto the bolt head as if it fit the head correctly.  I'll try to get a pic tonight.

Hi All,

I put them on my 09 and like them very well. I snapped the top next to the bolt on the inside. There is a spot there. I think this is right, but not sure. Take a look at the pic I will attach.

Mark that is correct but the problem is with the bike that have had the gas tank recall it will no longer snap at the gas tank. The MoCo is a fubar in my opinion.You would think that someone up there would have figured this out.

Hi Mike and all,

I bought my bike 1 year old with 2000 miles on it and I did not know about the tank recall and my dealer hasn't said any thing about it. What is that recall about and I assume my bike has not been done. Do I need to get with my dealer?

Thanks a bunch,

Mark

Mark I'm sure some of the more tech guys can explain, but as I understood it there was a possible chance of a crack at the spot where the tank meets the frame in a crash and gas could leak out. hope that makes sense. Knowing what I know now, if I had a choice I'm not sure it matters.

Thanks Mike. I have a real good dealer and I will stop down and talk to them in the morning. If they don't fit with the mod I don't think I will keep them.

Here are the pics.  I have had the tank recall done.

I drilled a small hole threw the deflector and used a wire tie around the crash bar, just in case.

I rode a little last night...they didn't seem to move.  Not sure they could go anywhere anyway.

Nice job guys, thanks for sharing.

Exactly how I installed mine.(tank recall) They have not moved since I installed them several hundred miles ago.
