10/24 X 3/4 is what I have in the holes on mine....   (10/32 was wrong...)

[pfatmn]

I just put a pair of freedom wings on my ride. About 200 miles later my right side wing came off. I didnt notice untill I got where I was going . To bad for me.  The wings are great and may have come off because someone messed with them or my own error. I recommend everyone loctite the screws to avoid the problem.(I had faucet washer in place)  Also please note I called Freedom wing and talked to JIM he was great and the co is sending me out my missing wing at a special price. Tehse are good people with a good product.

I found a set at a HD dealer in northern Ca. The shop foreman had a CVO and bought extra sets for anyone who might want a set,Its one of the best purchases I have added.Helps when it rains and when going through a lot of hot weather. He told me to install finger tight,I ended up putting the ole wrench to it and they never cam loose,I also tightened up the screws on the wing itself to make it more difficult to turn. Have had no problems at all.

The red bike's have been on about 800 miles now.  Work great with no wobble or problem with them not staying where you put them.  Wouldn't have worried about them coming loose if you hadn't had a problem.  Now I'll have to go check so it doens't bug me  [smiley=drink.gif]

Has anybody ordered the wings from Kuryaken yet?

Hey JC [smiley=beerchug.gif]

I have had those puppies on back order since April! End of May I was told should be in by June. Just called again today and dude at m&m had 3 other calls today, the one before me came from England ,thought of Tony. Anyway he is suppose to be emailing me when they are shipped to him. Will get some pics for ya when and if I ever get them.

He offered me my money back and I told him No worries mate (sorry just watched crocidile dundee) If it's not you I'm not worried about it. Then I ran across this thread and thought maybe I should get my money back and get these. But I think I will hold out for the Kuryakyns.

If I don't like them I will get the freedom wings and mount the Kuryakyns on my weed eater!

Hey J.Rud
Let me know if you decide that you don't like them.  I'll probably take them off your hands for you.   I think I like the looks of them, but I didn't want to wait so I went with the Freedom Wings....

It's good to hear the positive stories on the Freedom Wings. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  I kinda figured the guys at the Electra Glide Garage would know what they're talking about. [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Thanks JR, thank I'll hold out till I see pictures of yours (from Kuryaken).

05 do you remember which dealership it was that you bought them from?  Or which town?

JC,
On Kuryakyn's site this is the only thing I could find.  From this photo it's difficult to tell how or where they open and adjust.  The description, however, says that they do  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=Harley&ci=3351

In general appearance these look better and more "finished" than the adjustable wings I got a couple weeks ago.  These others work fine.  But the Kuryakyn piece looks better.  Also looks like it attaches to the fairing with all three screws where there other pieces attach only with two.  Had  I known about these Kuryakyn goodies I'd likely not have ordered the ones I did.  Oh well, not the first time that's happened  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

[pappy2]

Hey JR, did you order the smoke or mirrored ones?  I think the mirror might look nice but will wait for some pics as well.  I love the other stuff I copied off your bike so these will be just one more item in common.  Be safe.  JP [smiley=drink.gif]

Thanks a bunch, Don! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

The pictures on the Kuryakin site leave a lot to be desired, but the instruction sheet gives a description of how they operate.

Now I understand where they get their name.  Thanks, grc.  I'm not sure they would look very appealing deployed.  If I'm reading it right, they would only be attached at the lower point.  It would be very "dragon wing" looking, but I'm not so sure that's a good thing. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Dragonfly wing kinda thing?  That would be funky  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] .  I think I'm liking my new ones better and better all the time . [smiley=beerchug.gif]
