Anyone have this? Do they fit? It's getting cold here in Wisconsin.
Thanks

Er, what kind of wind deflectors? The side mounted ones they put on cruisers?

Naw, he's talking about the Buell OEM Uly/CityX hand guards.

According to Buell's website, they don't fit. Not sure whats involved to get them to work, but in the mean time the Buell heated grips fit and work great! : )

good luck.

if you really want em, i would have to suggest swaping the clip-ons for a set of s or sx handlebars, then put you some guards on.

I have seen a pic of a Bolt here on badweb with a set of the Buell wind deflectors installed. Don't know who owned the bike, maybe they will chime in.

I like the clip-on bars, so switching won't work for me. In the pictures, on the Buell site, it is hard to tell how they are mounted. I guess I'll have to stop by the dealer and check them out. I plan on getting the heated grips next riding season. Winter is coming fast, so the bike will be put up soon. Time to go work on the Jeep.
Thanks for the replies,
George

They wont fit a firebolt, unless you pull off the fairing, and that would be colder than snot.
