Title: Finally an adjustable air deflector for Road Glides
Post by: motor1 on March 19, 2017, 09:59:44 PM
It has always driven me nuts that Batwings offer adjustable air deflectors, but shark fairings don't. It bothered me so much I made my own last summer but felt they looked homemade. Now Kuryakyn offers them. I got a set today, can't wait for salt to wash away so I can try them. I have attempted to attach picture of mine and Kuryakyn's.

Hey there,
They mount on the trailing edge of the front fairing. They replace the fixed factory winglets. These allow you to deflect air, when it is cold or wet, and to direct air onto to the rider when hot. They are the equivalent of"Willie Wings" on an ElectraGlide.

If you can, when you get them installed, can you take a picture of them from the saddle?  Kuryakyn shows them from the front in the different positions but I'm curious what they look like from the saddle.

OBB, thanks for the link.  I'll have a set of these soon....

Sure thing. I'll get your review in person come June.

Thanks for the pics motor1,

They look like they will do the job just fine.

Mine arrived today but I am at work so will have to wait a bit.

Cheers Tom

Thank you sir.  That's what I needed to see.

Did you have a chance to try them on the road?  If so, what do you think of the purchase?

No chance to test them. Going to find a highway to try them this evening. I will report my findings.
