You probably could have bought a Harley for what you have put into that bike already. You could have been riding rather than waiting for the UPS truck.

Maybe so out the door, but by the time I added the same bling to a Harley...I'd be out yet another five grand....so I'm still money ahead....

You wouldn't need to add all that to a Harley. That was my point.

Yeah, I'm just pulling your chain a little.

Kris - was there a big difference without the foam in place when the wings were shut?

I saw a Harley Street Glide CVO for $40,000 at the dealership with $19,000 in bling. I donn't even have that much tied up in my 2011 Voyager.

dave....

Dave,
I still have the foam pieces in place between the upper fairing and hard lowers....and they ain't coming out. The wings do nothing to block that particular space, so I left those in place in such a way to move the air flow coming through there out to the wings (see pic). The closed wings provide a superb block for your legs against cold air or rain. They are spendy, but are very well designed and built....and ultimately money well spent. If anyone is thinking about buying a set, I suggest the clear ones as you barely even notice them.....
