Deflectors fitted

RickyTstairs · Jun 16, 2023

The deflector kit arrived today. No instructions included but it looks pretty straightforward. Removing the fairings panels was easy enough. Remove the three hex screws that are visible. Pop and remove two black plastic rivits on the front end to seperate from the inner fairing. The edge of the outer fairing also clips over the edge of the inner black fairing. Then pull off gently and the three pin/studs will pull out of their rubber gromits. The lower one connects the black trim beside the engine. The deflector hooks into a slot and is held by double side tape.

This is how you get to the radiator cap.

The smaller screen deflectors just screw on top of the existing screen. Longer bolts were supplied but the originals were okay.

These decals (stickers) were included with the screen deflectors. I couldn't work out where they went.

That's a lot of work. Please show the end result and share your experiences. Do you notice the difference between on and off?

Actually it didn't take long once I worked out how to remove the fairing panel. I think you could fit the deflector with the panel in place with the aid of these photos.
I'll post some finished photos later. I didn't get a chance to test them yet as I had carpet fitters arrive and had to deal with them. Maybe today.

As requested some photos after fitment. Quite tricky things to photograph. As for how they performed, they did very well. Still some buffeting to the top of the helmet but far less on my body. I tested the wind strength with my hands on the lower deflectors and feel a huge amount of air being pushed away by them. I could cruise quite happily at 80mph. So worth the investment for me.

They look really good to be fair! I’ve got the extended Honda visor, and I have to say there is virtually no buffeting whatsoever, really chuffed

)) anyway nice job buddy

Thanks for the fitting instructions, I have just ordered the set as they look good too on your bike. I might possibly try the taller screen after that but will see…

I plan to sell my taller screen as I can't see me using it again. Don't buy a new one as mine has only been used once.

I can confirm that there is no need to remove the fairings. 👊. I removed the hex nuts to give a little free play and could see the channel that the tab on the smoked plastic deflector sits in (it sits as far back as possible in the slot).
Easy.

The windscreen deflectors were pretty straight forward too.
I ordered my set from HGB Motorcycles Ltd who also kindly sent printed instructions. your photos on here are better really though. The black stickers are supposed to go on the existing windscreen, maybe to hide the mounting brackets? I didn't use them either.

Relevant instruction pages are attached below

Good to hear.

Hi - sorry to revive an older thread - can anyone comment on whether the lower wind deflectors interfere with the OEM Knuckle Guards / Extensions?

TIA,

GG

Doubt they'd interfere ... I have the wind deflectors on mine and they're low and out of the way. Didn't even factor them in for my handguards.

RickyTstairs · Oct 26, 2023

Ditto from me.
