    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    Mike, note that I removed the stock bagger windshield and ordered one from China that is suppose to be the same as the continental windshield. Then raised it 1 1/4 in more by installing the puckboard pieces I made.

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    I added a bit of lenght to the wires and applied heat shrink. I did not take much apart. I'm not sure how the wires are routed under the fairing, so was easier to add a bit of lenght.

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    Not that great of pictures, but I just made triangular pieces out of 1/4 " puckboard, fit them in, and was able to leave the front windshield mounting screws in the original position. I tilted the windshield up a bit more, (gained about 1 & 1/4 in in height), and fasten to the puckboard. For...

I sent them a message on their site (not really a user friendly site in my opinion) and inquired. They...

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    https://www.aliexpress.com/ Note that prices vary on that site. (it appears to be a multi vender site) You also have to choose the correct color. I spent the extra to make sure I got re-position brackets for the front signal lights. some vendors on that site don't offer that. You will have too...

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    Yes, I am totally impressed with how well they work. I played with blocking the wind with my hands and arms as well prior to adding the lowers. They don't block the air, they deflect it. I believe it is quiet enough around my neck area that I could lite a cigarette at highway speed and smoke it...

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    Total $400 ca delivered from china and they seem like good quality. A R18b order gets you the signsl light offsets included. But signak light wiring has to be extended.

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    I installed aftermarket fairing winglets and the lower wind deflectors. I would bet that that lower wind deflectors are a copy of the OEM ones. They really look good and work very well. Small brakets to move the signal lights forward a bit, came with the purchase. I am very happy with the purchase.

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    For anyone interested, I have installed lower leg wind protection on my 2022 R18B. The stock front directional lights needed to be moved forward as they did contact the leg protectors when the steering was near the limit.

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    One can buy the lower protectors from AliExpress, China, painted and ready for $400 ca. They say that they provide an offset bracket for the directionals with the purchase. They say nothing to worry about. Guess I'll order them. I'll be smater once I get their package. Will post. By the way...

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    Ok, tks. I was under the impression that the stock signal lights (directionals) on a 18B would contact the lower leg protectors when the steering was turned all the way. I do know that they interfere with the BMW winglets if you put them on. I didn't know that mini directionals were available...

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    I was hoping to find out if one can add the lower leg protectors without modifying the signal turning lights.

    R18B Crash Bar Lower wind deflectors

    I'm wondering if anyone has added the lower wind deflectors that fit on the crash bar, (that the TC comes with) to a R18B. They are available out of China (AliExpress) at reasonable cost, but I think the signal lights would contact the deflector when the steering is turned to it's limit...

    I owned I have owned a used 1998 HD Electra Gluide Classic, a new 2005 Road King, and an new 2006 Ultra Classic. A new BMW 2005 LT1200, a new 2009 Rt1200, a new 2012 GTL 1600, and a new 2022 R1800B. If you like the style, the GTL 1600 is hands down far better to ride than any Harley I had...
