Poor hole alignment

Mounting holes slightly offset from fender holes. The Kury holes have almost no play, making installation nearly impossible. With patience and ingenuity, they can be installed. Hoping they work better than they hire. Pretty expensive for plastic parts.

Cons
  • Guard

Very disappointed, good for lowering and wind deflectors

When I took them out of the box I was very disappointed with the plastic finish that is visible after installation. Each of them had a large unfinished hole in the same spot that must have come from production. For example, if the plastic shaft was broken or unscrewed. Then the installation started. After struggling for an hour just installing the left side I gave up, packed it up and sent it back. For €179 I expected a lot more. I would not recommend it.

Pros
  • Body and frame parts
Cons
  • Volume

They are good, especially for winter driving.

I bought these for my 2018 Goldwing Tour and they are great for cold weather. You can direct the engine's heat back to you instead of wasting it. It really extends the ski season in Tennessee. The only reason for losing 1 star is that it is attached to the painted body with double sided tape. A good solution at first glance, but when servicing the air filter or anything else that requires disassembly of the body, it will be a problem to remove and reinstall it. I plan to replace the tape with…

Product description is misleading.

I currently have this product on my fender. Kuryakin describes this property of the product as; "...open the vents for a refreshing breeze on a scorching hot day." In fact, the opposite is true. When the deflectors open, hot air from the radiators is directed towards the driver and not to the "cool breeze". No position gives you the advertised "breath of fresh air”. Not bad for cool/cold weather rides, however, where hot air is welcome. I will probably remove this accessory for summer rides…

Great wind/heat management for my fender

I ordered these but didn't buy them from Amazon and I think they're great! These vents are designed to channel hot air from the engine around the rider when fully extended forward. Pulling them in during the colder months will channel hot air from the radiators to the driver. They really work and look like they came off a Honda motorcycle. However, I only used screws to attach them, no double sided tape. I also put some black foam between the deflectors and the bike to protect the paint from…

  • Doubt
