Thanks good job on the engine mount I got to do my on a 98 * YOU STAY SAFE STAY OUT OF THE 🥶 *

Thanks, I did NOT know about finding the equilibrium.

Just added the HD fork mount deflectors on my 2016 RK and rotated the mounting bar up a bit to give a little space for the passing lamps. Definitely reduces buffeting but also noticed a little more heat on my right leg.

I put deflectors on my Heritage. I had the same experience. Got rid of my glasses shaking while riding with an open face helmet. I can ride in cold weather without my face getting frozen. It also keeps a lot of wind off my legs. Comfort level went way up!

Yea they definitely work especially on street glides that air coming up between the tank and fairing is awful and these things definitely solves it I know some say it does not cool the engine as good but I don’t know you’d think the way they turn in would it’d push more air between the forks over the front cylinder instead of between the tank and windshield r fairing because that’s a lot of dirty air that’s coming over the tank I know it’s to technical to worry about but if you look at the ones few sales that goes in front of the tank it’s really the same concept just in front of the tank and smaller

Nice job, I am 82 and have a hard time remembering things but can still rebuild carburetors, with the speck on the settings. But you have a great idea for some of the DIY fokes.

Very informative and well done! cheers

Installed those on my ultra limited. Game changers. Buffeting totally gone now after years of trying windscreens of differ designa

Great m8

Had the same issue with putting fangs on my 2000 heritage (previous owner basically turned it into a fatboy so fangs look okay). I needed about an additional 1/8 inch. I said screw it and drilled additional forward holes in the fangs and elongated the factory holes allowing me to push the fangs a bit further back to clear the turn signal indicator lamps. The biggest issue I had was getting additional 5/16-24 hex screws that were long enough to account for the added thickness of the fangs on the outside of my windshield mounts. The Harley hex screws were just barely long enough for the windshield mounts so I had to get new ones off Amazon. The instructions aren’t super clear on this either. If you are using a windshield you have to mount the fangs on the outside of those mounting brackets to be able to reinstall the windshield which kinda sucks. Memphis shields will not clear the fangs if you mount them on the inside of the mounting brackets and have a fat boy head lamp housing (mines big and bulky).

Good job!! Always a challenge working on Harleys~!

Checking my 2006 HD Service Manual the torque specs for this job is found in the Maintenance Section under Critical Fasteners on page 1-34. You are spot on. Thank you for this video, sir.

Good video brother!! I've done this repair a few time. But love your laid back attitude!! Nice Drawing!! Retired Draftsman?? Peace brother.

Thanks

I really hate youtube sometimes. This is one of those times. I searched and searched for a video like yours but wasn’t able to find it until days after I installed the wind deflectors. You did an excellent job at describing what it takes to install these. I went through the exact same process as you did. I did it by myself although 2 more people would have made reassembly much easier.. Harley instructions for these are absolutely useless, as you so very well showed. I think it was worth it to put these on. The most difficult thing for me was realignment and final tightening. I actually got to direct the passing lamp beams to positions that make them useful. They don’t line up all pretty and nice with the headlight like from the showroom floor now but they sure light up my blind spots to the left and right of the road. One is actually a little more high than I like but I haven’t been flashed by oncoming traffic yet. Even still, I’m not ever going to move them again because it’s such a pain. Great video man!! Thanks

And we love that about you.no music, no cheesy intro. Just meat and potatoes.

Mine fit fine without any trouble, I also have the triple clamp "ashtray" deflector, hopefully when I remove that I won't feel as much heat.

So where we at today?

Thank you. I printed out the sketch.

Yes, haha. I had the same thing on my 2000 Fat Boy. What a pain in the arse to get done. It was worth the hassle, solved the blast of air in the chin. Great video, chief.

I had the same wind deflectors on my totaled 2017 RK. took em off. they will now go on my 2020 FLHP RoadKing. It is a P.I.T.A. but well worth it.

Very well explained.. Right to the task at hand. Awesome... Thank you. 👍

I'm gonna need longer akern bolts.

Just installed my fangs on 2014 model. You don't have the issues like with the older models. The lower connection of the light bar has a long horizontal connection you can swing out. They really knock out the head buffeting.

What year is your Road King?

Great video boss. Did you do this while on kick stand? Or on a lift ?

Holy cow... and I thought I was just going to throw these on, four acorn nuts, and experience buffet free air on my next trek, easy as pie. Well, nope. I found the same issue you did as my turn signal/indicator lamp assembly is mounted in the rearward hole. Thanks for the video, your solution will be my long term solution. The commenter's solution by angling the whole bracket up a little, will be my short term solution.

Since the whole mounting bar for the lights will move I loosened all four bolt and rotated the mounting bar up by maybe a 1/4 of an inch not enough to affect the aim of the lights and tightened everything back up with the deflectors. I have a good little gap between the lights and deflector and since the wind will push the deflector even farther back I have plenty of clearance .

Thank you for the review. I was fed up with my helmet buffeting. I use a tall boy seat and can’t stand how badly my helmet buffets at 50 mph and above. The deflectors installed and worked as you said. I’m so happy with them. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the video .. I'm about to buy some for my 2019 RK and glad to hear they help with the problem. Hey maybe HD changed the design by 2019 to make it easier??? haha But I am a 62 yo mechanic and have plenty of those Tiwaneezeeee tools around for just that same fix! Again yours was my kind of informative video , and gonna hit that subscribe button for future

All this seems like bad engineering. But you’ve made it. Congrats and thanks.

Good Video Ridge Runner. If someone needs more info than that to change the motor mount...well...I’d say they oughta take it to the shop.

Good explanation of the problem and how to solve it. I have a 2013 RK and I think I would have gneiss same problem.

Thanks for the notes amigo, this was helpful and I'll tell you why. I put some tin HD ones on my 02 Roadking a long time ago, which as I remember wasn't much of an issue. However, I bought the new thicker HD fangs for my 2019 FLHXS, and they do not fit if you have the bullet-style lights on an auxiliary light bar. Unfortunately, I had mine powder coated before I tried to mount them, now I am working on another solution short of welding a tab on the end and moving them down the leg a couple of inches or so. I will look to see if I can move the lights or the bar, but I don't remember if this is possible since they changed everything on the newer models. Take care, CA

That’s too much teejus for me. Good video though.

That looks like a really great ride and a good place to beat the heat.

Great video. It’s an awesome place to visit on a bike. Brought back a lot of memories.
