Kuryakyn 1100 Air Management Motorcycle Accessory: Lower Triple Tree Wind Deflector for 1980-2013 Harley-Davidson Touring Motorcycles, Chrome

Gefallen hat mir die Paßgenauigkeit

It’s on the pricey side but am pleased with it and immediately noticed the reduction in wind buffet.

A few reviewers mentioned difficulty screwing in the included screws, so I took note and thought I was prepared. When installing, the screws are very tight in the holes on the triple tree so you must spend a lot of time screwing them in a bit, then backing them out and then screwing them in again. The idea is to incrementally move them into and open up the holes. My first screw head started to strip, so I stopped and went to the hardware store and picked up a few 1" 1/4-20 bolts to open the holes prior to installing this piece.The bolt heads allowed extra control without stripping, but after opening the first hole one of those extra bolts snapped off. I was able to get the threaded part back out using vise grips, thankfully. The second bolt's threads wore down, so I used a third bolt to finish opening all of the holes. Then I started the actual install with the provided hex-head bolts. Everything was good until one bound up and the hex head stripped when it was almost all the way in. Now I had a loosely-attached metal plate hanging off of my triple tree.I ended up drilling off the head of the bolt so I could remove the deflector. I still have the body of the screw stuck inside the screw hole on the triple tree.I recommend you skip this junk, it is a dicey install and you may end up damaging your bike. In my case, the buffeting certainly isn't bad enough to warrant this kind of stress.

I bought this for my 2020 Electra Glide Standard. Mounting it was very easy, no hardware needed, just a allen set or driver. I had installed one on my old Road King a few years back and it made a significant difference, where it almost completely reduced the wind coming up from around under the gas tank and causing a lot of buffeting, making your glasses vibrate or jiggle about and the wind noise would be irritating after a while of riding ( yes I wear a half helmet). So back to this particular unit. As I mentioned I mounted it in on a motorcycle with a batwing fairing, the wind buffeting was not reduced very much, so I am guessing that it could be due to the fact that this bike has a fairing and the aerodynamics might be different than a bike with just a windshield. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. I could be way out to lunch, but it's just my opinion.Anyway for the price of this compared to what I paid to HD for the chrome one on the RG, I'm ok with it, being marginal. I'll be looking at the batwing wind deflectors now.

Does as advertised and looks good. As far as BUFFERING it helps some but I purchased it to have more air flow on the front cylinder due to my 03 Flhtcui being air cooled. After installing it I’ve noticed a drop in air temp.
