| I was wondering if its possible to tighten the upper wind deflectors...
My left side wind deflector starts to turn its self into the wind at 70 mph, and the right one does it at 100.
I am not so worried about the right one but it would be nice if the left one stayed put past 70... Has anyone tightened theirs? |

Central New York | Is the bike new? There is a fiber friction washer inside the fairing. Mine was missing and they put one in under warranty. |

Rockford, IL | If you move the deflector out there is a screw on the backside that can be tightened. Almost positive its a torx. |

dinwiddie, va | to tighten because wind is moving it from the position you put it in don't tighten torx screws on deflector itself. If you pull the front valance off and look down in the at the area of the deflector. you might have to a bulb socket out to reach it. With a torx bit swivel extension and 1/4'' ratchet. Tighten the torx bits on the top side of deflector. Tightening these actually put tension on the pivot mount, and put tension on it so it won't rotae from wind |

Grand Cane, LA | I too, am having problems with the upper deflectors turning in around 75 mph. I tried the upper bolts but they are as tight as I can get them. Can a shim be put under the top piece? Haven't tried to take one apart to find out yet. |
