Hi,
I had them on my old sw400 were great, but I see that Honda don't have any in their catalogue for the SWT. I haven't been able to find any even on after market sites, which surprises me as the SWT400 has been out a couple of years already.

Any ideas? Laughing
Thanks!

The SW-T 400 or 600 aren't available to those of us in the UK, US, or Canada, but are for sale in Ireland and mainland Europe. Even the Honda leg deflectors for the original Silver Wing are generally considered too expensive to import from the UK to the US.

That's strange! Is it a problem of low demand? I wouldn't have thought that Ireland would've been a better market, and the tax on bikes is sky high.

So de facto the model is no longer available in the US or UK, right?

I feel like I shouldn't be complaining about leg deflectors now!! Embarassed

No mate, 99% of us currently ride the FJS or FES model Silver Wing, not the SW-T version you have. I bought my SW new a year ago here in the UK and it's a FJS. Honda UK probably won't import the SW-T model next year either.

Regarding leg deflectors for your model, I looked at the Honda Deutschland website and had no luck there.

On the Spanish site, there's a member who trolled the Japanese site and found nothing either. Thanks anyway. I'm beginning to feel that there really aren't any leg deflectors for this model. Still don't know why really.

I am happy with my second pair. The first (both bought on eBay) were a cheep plastic that I disliked very much because there was a very visible sharp bend at the point were it starts to turn upwards towards the glove compartments. I believe it was made from the same material as used in trimming a lawn or around a tree.
The second set was made of a much thicker rubber and it does a great job cutting the wind. Not only does it cut the wind, but the other day I made a (darn it) while trying to get the bike up on the rear stand to put air in the tires, all a sudden, the bike slowly fell on its side.
Some one came running to my aid saying he had a scooter also but not nearly as big or beautiful as mine.
The point is, when I picked up the bike, the only thing that was scratched was the end bar and nothing else thanks to the thick rubber wind deflectors.
If I was not working 6 day a week I would look for a place to have these made in the USA. and make a little extra money. Sleep Sleep

Can you tell us where you got both the first and the second sets from? Don't worry about name dropping as I'm sure many here who are looking for these and would love to know which ones to avoid wasting time looking at.
