| Hello, one of my(right side) optional wind deflectors broke when I reached down to adjust it- I don't really feel like paying $250 for a new set, does anyone know if just the replacement plastic is available anywhere? Thanks, Dave |

| Will at cycleopsusa.com has some real nice looking ones. Might as well upgrade now. His are metal and look really good. |

Moravia, IA | olds34,
After 2 years of reading posts of people breaking their wind deflectors and muttering "heavy handed gorillas" - well, it happen to me to.
I *RELIGIOUSLY* only adjust mine with my hand.
This January there was an entire week in the 50s....so I rode my bike. First day I go to adjust my lowers.....snaps right off.
Because of an accident I actually had a spare. So I swap out the broken one.
Next day......I go to adjust the lower (same side)......snaps right off.
Either these become REALLY brittle over time.....or they are extremely fragile when cold (although I personally dont consider 50 degree cold).....or the more likely 3rd option, horrible design and I had just been lucky.
At any rate.....$130 gets you black CycleOps units.....mount em up and forget about it. One less worry.

| thanks for all of your feedback, I agree that it is time to upgrade - no point of buying some to break again! The metal ones look good and I will either go with theirs or make my own-but thanks for your input. What po's me is that Victory knows that these break yet make no attempt to help their customers- unfortuneately this is what I find with their customer relations -ther are none. Dave |

| UPDATE; made a new one from a ST1100 rifle aftermarket windshield I used years ago! purfect curve-only I have more adjustability in both directions' perhaps the windsheild material will last longer- if not I'll find some aluminum for the next try! dv |
