Title: Wind Deflector for 500
Post by: Oldscoot on December 22, 2012, 01:49:10 PM

One of the few options offered by Kymco are wind deflectors.  Has anyone installed them? If so, what is the installation process and do they work? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas  :)

I installed them on my 2009 X500, it does help cut down on the wind hitting your legs...
I thought about painting them to match to exterior(white).

I'm glad I bought them.   :D

Three questions:

(1) How do they install?

(2) Where did you get them?

(3) How much did you pay for them?

Thanks.

Well they sell them for my Yager GT 200i but they cost around $3000 as you have to fly to
Taiwan to buy them!

Looks like they just slip on or under the plastic? I would say it's about a 5 minute job? Get them from a Kymco dealer. I think the cost was some $60.00 or so last time I looked. :-*

Sorry for the delay.
I ordered them thru Red Ember cycles, out of Daytona, Fl.

3 screws secure them to the black plastic behind d the faring, very easy

Cost approx. $59.00. I believe it was worth it.
