I want to make lowers for my 2016 Vulcan 650 S, so this will help me out a lot! I have lowers on my 2003 Vulcan nomad 1500 and it makes so much of a difference going down the highway with the wind coming up from the bottom! Thank you for the video, it helps a lot!
Nice work Jeff....I just wondering how effective are the new lowers?....do they make a substantial difference in cutting the updraft by the gas tank?....Thanks and cheers!!
I did pretty much the same idea with an added touch. I took the aluminum brackets and buffed them with aluminum polish and buffed them out and now they match the chrome. You also polish the edge of the Plexiglas so it looks like a factory finish.
I copied your idea and made a pair for my bike to keep down the updraft under my batwing fairing. But on mine I first took the to the buffer and polished the aluminum like chrome. I also buffed the edges of the Plexiglas to look more professionally made. They look good too! Thanks!
Can you provide the specs of the aluminum bracket, the size of the bolts and what template did you use to cut the plexi glass? Would you ever consider making the deflectors and send it to me? I would pay of course.
I’m sorry not seeing your post until now, but in the event you still have the bike and need lowers, it really wasn’t hard to do. I made a pattern first out of cardboard and once I had the shape I liked, I simply traced it onto the plexiglass and cut it out with a jigsaw.
They actually work very well. It virtually eliminated all of the buffeting you get with windshield only. I was very pleased with the results, and absolutely worth the effort.

You are very welcome. I know these made an incredible difference over the windshield alone. Good luck and may your travels be safe.

You did a great job.

I buffed mine some on the outside, but after I assembled it to see if it worked and I liked it, I didn’t want to take it back apart LOL

Painter D you are very welcome. Good input by the way
please send me a pic of yours and how you mounted it. i'm looking to make one for my bike with a batwing also. brewcrew.mil@gmail.com
Super nice Vulcan, great job on the lowers!
Thank you
Fantástic work. I copied your idea because do not look the original wind deflectors.
Regards forma Spain!

Nice job Jeff! How well do they work?

what are dimensions :)
I’m sorry, I have since sold the bike and I can’t remember exactly what size I made it. Hopefully you can maybe get an idea by looking at the video
