I believe they are just air deflectors... and you'll be fine without them if you don't want to replace them.bobkat 1 said:they clip in at the top rear of the valve cover, they are clear plastic on each side of the bike, and what are they far,
are they needed. by the way its a 02 goldwing... bobkat
Funny you mention that. I just replaced the right side on mine and thought it was a fluke it happened. No idea how it happened or when.bobkat 1 said:they clip in at the top rear of the valve cover, they are clear plastic on each side of the bike, and what are they far,

Zactly! That is how I use them. They are purposeful.Jobber Jim said:I use those little clear plastic "spoilers" to assist in installing my chrome engine side covers. By pulling outward with your thumb, it aligns the forward slotted grommet with the slotted hole in the cover. Thought that was the primary reason for them.
Got mine replaced under warrantee. Dealer had them in stock.MotorcycleBoy said:From the parts fiche:

Yep. Mine have been gone since the beginning of '03. :wink:If you install the stealth lights, the piece is removed.
Exactly. They are rain guards..... run once in the rain without 'em.... Honda don't like to waste money on something with no purpose... well, most times anyway (anti-dive?)weengers said:Not to ruin all the fun but my dealer told me they were for re-directing rain water away from your legs. Apparently the water runs right back along the flat strip in front of those deflectors and without them would soak your legs. Made sense to me.
