Just spoke to Joe, owner of jescustomaccents.com. He said he'll start making them soon if there's enough interest. E mail him if interested.

Thank you for the heads up

That's great news, just sent them an e-mail. Just finished a over 1,700 mile ride and it would have been nice to have something to cutdown on the updraft, especially when it was only 34 degrees when I started the ride home.

Anybody hear anything new on JES making these?

He asked me for a template of the WS brackets. I sent them 3 weeks ago. Haven't heard from him since then. How about E mailing him. Let him know there's interest.
I emailed him. He replied that the is working on a design. Should be available "toward the spring".
I e-mailed him when this thread first started and never heard back. Sent him a follow-up and never heard back. Sure hate to wait until next spring. My FW has more wind updraft than any bike I have ever owned.

Are there any fangs out there that look like they would fit a FW,with a few mods? I really wanted the H-D fangs for our trike but they wouldn't fit because of its Auxiliary Light kit. Didn't like the aftermarket fangs' looks and price so I bought the H-D units from Boardtracker,anyway. Now that I know how to make them fit,I'm going to get out the Dremel and perform a little surgery.

Was the surgery successful?
Yes,it was. I used a Dremel w/cut-off disc to clearance the top of the fangs for turn signal clearance,then used some rubber trim for aesthetic reasons. Just haven't had the time to install them on our trike,yet.
Those look good Clint! Still thinking about what to do on my Freewheeler. Need to do something, way too much wind hitting me.

Update from JES
E-mail received today:
I am having a R&D pair of wind deflector made this week for the free wheeler, just have to tweak it a little, before I am done target complete 1 month.
Then I can get production parts made then off to chrome.

Just installed the jescustomaccents on my Freewheeler
Made a world of difference. Instead of the wind coming up under the tank in my face, it is moved to the side and by me. I would recommend them.

Update
Took mine out in the rain to see how i would fair. One the way back I had no soft lowers or JESCustom deflectors. With them now on I stayed fairly dry. Water still rolled the windshield and blew into my face and the very bottom of my pants legs got wet. Major improvement. I think a full face is in order for the scooter in the rain though.
