Post I wrote to Big Bike Parts:
Received and partially installed B52-865L wind deflectors. Your description states fitment for all years of GL1800, other sites state 2012 & newer. On my 2003 Gl1800 the upper arm bolt can not be installed even thou the holes line up. No way to get behind the hole to attach the washer & nut, not sufficient space. Seems like a blind hole which would need an insert of sorts to secure the bolt. I used a push rived similar to those used in the pockets of GL1800's but it is not a solid secure fit. The bottom arm is secure with the existing bolt. Please forward this to the appropriate department and if possible have them respond to me.Thanks, Ron Hochhauser
*** Any feedback from you Wingers would be appreciated.
