here are #s that I found 57400130,57400131,57400132, and 57400133

Do you know what parts these numbers refer to?  And do you know the deflector part numbers? 

[porkypig]

hey porkstar, great photos......  thankyou , so you didnt trade up two years running
whats your opinion on the new colors ?
the new screen does make it look more like a heritage, but i still think i like the smaller smoked screens.
i am glad they didnt change too much, no temptation now for me to change.

good to see what you look like 

Well, the jury is still out on trading up for this model.  I like it very much.  Can't seem to get dealers to call me back on prices to trade up, etc.  Is pretty early yet though.  as far as colors go, absolutely I have an opinion.  Just my opinion, but you asked.  The gold color scheme, or whatever they call it was a waste of effort I believe.  does not strike me as anything that should be on a CVO.  these bikes usually have 14 coats of hand applied paint.  why would you apply 14 coats of paint to reach a level of that paint?  and the brown leather I just am not in to.  Doesn't seem to match the Harley theme.  and of course the reptile trim doesnt apply to the brown leather.  Just doesn't appeal to me.  the blue model is quite beautiful if you like skulls.  I'm not sure i like them well enough to look at them constantly.  Love the hue of blue and the darker blue (almost black) is nice but isn't distinct enough in my opinion to tell what color it really is.  But love the leather.  Now the red is where I am thinking it is all heading for me.  Love it.  The main red is back to crimson like 2 years ago with scarlet crystal graphics.  Looks like crystals deep down inside the paint that really blast out of there in direct sunlight.  almost like crystals that no 2 are quite alike.  I really liked the grind graphics like on the last 2 years but this has merit on its own.  I definitely will be getting the red if I do connect with this bike.  i like it well enough and if I wouldn't get stung too badly, (face it, we get stung anytime we trade bikes.  You do get something for the money you spend and the money you lose, but it is just a fact of life.....if it wasnt so, there would be no dealers and we would have no bikes......simple).  It's just about choices.  there yu have it.  pork.

I rode the 2012 Convertible at Sturgis last week also and I concluded that I am just fine with my 2011 windshield. Sure the 2012 is larger but I didn't seem to see
that much difference to justify changing. Plus I like the look of the 10-11, it's much cleaner.

The numbers refer to the 2 picies of plastic on each side of fairing

The numbers refer to the 2 picies of plastic on each side of fairing

There are 4 part numbers.  Are there two pieces per side?

[RCFlyer]

Never mind.  I didn't read your response carefully.

[myanoch]

I am going to tape some cardboard  on it to see if it works
I do hate the chrome fork deflectors I have on there now
I know the numbers are good had my local HD shop get them
I also called HD and they gave me same numbers
They are on back order
The bad part is thereabout $68 ea
thats the only think on the bike I hate is the wind bottering my face

I hate the chrome fork deflectors too.  They do work well, however. 

So is that $68 times 4?

Has anybody purchased a parts manual for the FLSTSE3 and could post a picture of all the parts as well as the part numbers?  then there may be no confusion.  thanks.  Pork.

I post the info as soon as I have it.

I saw the 2012 Beige softail here at Beartooth Harley and liked the looks of the windshield, so I decided to order the parts book to see if ours could easily be fitted with the 2012 parts without too much hassle.
They had the bike for 3 days and had it sold. the salesman said he had 3 other people wanting to buy it also. He called around and found ( I think in Utah) only one more and it was being sold as he was talking to them.
as an fyi -our dealer here still has a Blue 2011 if anyone is interested.

[myanoch]

The dealer have the parts book for the 2012"\'s
The part numbers are for the inner and outer black lexan looking pieces
They are good numbers as stated earlier both my dealer and Harley customer service  gave same numbers
I do know the parts book   is wrong on the numbers for the 2012
my dealer said  that  they will be correcting that
I did not get part number for winshield because I have a juroc  one
My question is  Did this help with the buffeting of wind  to the face from below
These pieces are 68 each

Hey, Mike.  I gave about as good a recount as I could give as I test-rode the bike.  I also did a speech test with the visor up and honestly there was not much difference that I could tell.  But definitely made a difference as far as the wind was concerned.  Eviddently that small oval hole was the result of a windtunnel test and does seem to make a difference.  Sort of when the wind is really blowing and it feels like your helmet is lifting off n your head.....  then you go and open up the vents in the helmet and the whole thing just sort of settles down.  That's the sensation of the turbulence behind the new windshield.    Hope that helps.  Pork.

Thanks porky
I just realized that that inside defector was lower and must bring air up to stop it from hitting your face
My nose is moving all over at above 55
I know its coming up because if i put my had on my chin it stops
This is driving me nutz
i want to get an exhaust and I am tied up on this wind problem
I did compain
Harley  can't admit they were wrong on this fairing design
