videoarizona Posted March 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2022 A while back, one of our members made some black plastic wing deflectors to velcro to the underside of the 2nd gens lower fairing. The idea here was to deflect winds and rain from hitting the knees. Made a mistake today after my morning breakfast ride... Was digging through a box in the garage and came across those deflectors! Forgot I had them. Problem: they don't seem to fit perfectly anywhere on top of the lower fairing. I understand how they should fit.... But the underside of the top of the fairing isn't the same contour as the deflector. Anyone have pictures of where they are supposed to fit? My guess is it's a compromise. But I would like to get closer to where they were designed to fit...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorCurt Posted March 21, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2022 Could the deflectors have relaxed a bit during the time they have been ageing in your garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted March 26, 2022 Don't think so... But who knows? When I get some time, I'll go ahead and epoxy them in the best fit I can get. I was just hoping someone has them installed and could get me a picture..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoarizona Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Thanks again Dave for your pictures! Update..... Well...I simply don't see any difference yet in lower wind turbulence since I mounted the wind deflectors. I'll probably have to wait to see if my knees still get wet in the rain. That is..? If it ever rains again in Arizona!! Edited May 10, 2022 by videoarizona Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
