| I purchased these but as others have stated, was reluctant to install due to the type of bonding tape required to mount, which would make any future maintenance required (changing air filter) difficult. I read particularly Randy's review wherein he commented that he had contacted Kuryakyn on the problem to which Kuryakyn responded the attachment issue was "an oversite" and they were working on a 'Service Kit', whatever that is. Thus, I followed up with Kuryakyn a few days ago to restate the problem and check the status of said 'Service Kit'. Their response was that they were not aware of/had not heard of any issue regarding the attachment and removal of the air deflectors. Interesting! I could regurgitate the email tree between Kury & myself but it would take pages. I cut & pasted several reviews, including Randy's (sans his name), essentially reminding them of the issue. Persistence produces results. As of this afternoon, 04/21/21, a Service Kit of sorts was added to the Kuryakyn product page consisting of several strips of 3M tape rather than the high bond, non-removable tape which comes with the unit. The 3M tape costs around $9.00. With Tax, Title & License (S&H), comes to $15.00. That price is in addition to the unit, which will still include the high bond tape. The Air Deflectors are #6579. The 'Service Kit' is #6589. |

| For the price, I expected better quality... installation was pretty easy though. The leading edge is just held on with adhesive tape...curious to see how long that holds up with wind buffering. |

| I wish I had known there was adhesive on these, as it’s never a “perfect” figment needing that. They are not sturdy and do not blend seamlessly onto the bike. I’ve not ridden it yet, so it’s hard to say more for now.... but I’d not buy these again. |

| The Kuryakyn wings are easily installed and pretty stylish. The wind blocking is pretty good too. The only thing I noticed and need to test more is that the deflectors slope down toward the ankles. I am wondering if the design blocks the air as it should, but might funnel air down toward the ankles, which might effect comfort. So far, so good |

| The deflectors fit nicely and look pretty good on the bike. I just used the screws and did not use the tape as that would have made it very difficult to remove if needed. Seems to be pretty secure. They do deflect the air pretty well. On a cold ride, I don't seem to feel much warm air hitting me from the radiator when the deflector is closed. It does still deflect some of the cold air from me. I am happy with them but it just seems a bit overpriced for what they are. |

| Ottimi! e facili da montare, funzionano anche senza usare gli adesivi. (Excellent! and easy to assemble, they work even without using stickers.) |

| Not only do these air deflectors bring character to the front of the Goldwing and are very well integrated,but thy are very effective,especially the lower ones where you really feel,depending on the position,the influx of cool or hot air without turbulence.Or the status quo.The superiors are there for the look and complete the device |

| Randy mentions a problem with the air deflectors: "it will be impossible (or extremely difficult) to remove the fairing pieces for maintenance, such as replacing the air filter. " Kuryakyn replied that unfortunately this was missed. They are going to develop a service kit right away as a solution to this issue. has this been fixed yet? I am interested in these but am hesitant due to this issue. thanks |

| I sent this email to Kuryakyn. "I have a concern regarding the installation of these Air Deflectors. If installed according to the instructions, it will be impossible (or extremely difficult) to remove the fairing pieces for maintenance, such as replacing the air filter. How do you propose removing the fairing pieces once the air deflectors are installed with the foam tape? I started to install these today on my 2018 GW Tour, and a friend pointed out this issue, so I didn't install them. They look great and look like they would function very well, BUT if you can't get the fairing apart once they are installed - THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM!" Kuryakyn replied that unfortunately this was missed. They are going to develop a service kit right away as a solution to this issue. Which has not yet been released - 30 days later at this point. I installed the air deflectors today by removing the two main pieces of (VHB - very high bond) foam tape supplied and replaced the tape with strips of 3M Dual Lock (SJ4580 Low Profile). This seems to have worked to a point. If I were to do this again, I would only use 3 or 4 one-inch pieces instead of using the full 9-inch and 3-inch pieces. The Dual Lock is tough to fully lock with such large pieces. Also, the upper replacement screw is difficult to get in place, having another person help press the deflector in place while you insert the screw would help. The air deflectors looks factory and seem to work very well. How easy they are to remove and re-install for maintenance is yet to be determined. |

| They are good quality and a 10 minute install. The only negative is the price. In my opinion they're a $100.00 more than they should be. |
