Shirley-give the guys and gals what they want. Only one round as I'm
spending too much money again.

I'm looking for some opinions on the Eglide goodies Adjustable
Spring
Loaded Air Deflectors and the Freedom Wings Air Defectors. They
mount
on the Upper fairing to direct the air towards the rider or away
from
the rider. Have any of you used these on their Ultras? Which ones?
Are you pleased with them? I'm going to be getting these for my
fairing and was hoping there was some experience here with theses.
Thanks for any help you can offer. Enjoy the liquid libations.

I am using a set of the Freedom Wings. They work and look fine, except
that I have to continuously tighten the screws on the friction hinges
to keep the deflectors closed.
