Anyone installed the air wing fender rails? How was the install? Did you also use the light kit with them? Pros and cons and suggestions/tips are appreciated.

Check with dealer. May void warranty.
What are air wings??

I can't imagine the install would void the warranty as they are an HD part. Long as the wiring was done right and especially if the dealer did the install. I had trouble with an HD chrome tail light & it was covered.
I was going to put those on mine but was talked out of it by my fashion consultant (wife). She said they serve no purpose and I was teetering on the edge of the "overdone it" cliff...
I still think they look good....
Had the dealer install Air Wing Fender Rails at time of purchase of 18' Tri Glide. According to the parts catalog, the light assembly is not available for the 17'/18' Glides.
I am having plates made to attach to the rails to keep soft bags from riding on the fenders when tied to the rails. Will post pics when I get them installed.

I agree with your wife. I never understood the reason for them unless it was to tie some small article to the fender. But if you need to do that, YOU'RE CARRRING WAY TOO MUCH $HIT.
I put them in the same category as the tour pac luggage rack = makes it harder to clean and wax, but at least the tour pac rack is useful.

The Air Wing Fender Rail plates are finally installed. They are made from 18ga sheet metal, cut to fit inside, and powder coated. I used greased leather to strap them down. I have used them to carry our HD folding chairs on picnic runs and will use them to carry dry bags on vacation runs. The dealer says I could carry 10-15 lbs on each side, that's 30 lbs I don't have to find room for in the trunk.
