I bought my set from http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/index.php (http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/index.php) They might have the lower deflectors as well in a kit, but availability varies. If you have the police mirror brackets a slot will need to be cut into the deflectors to get them to fit.
BTW, you need this is your posts :wht11 not that 13 version :wht13 :thumbs

Both items show as out of stock but an e-mail enquiry to them won't hurt. They'll also give you a quote number with cost and freight estimate as well.

The mirror wind deflectors are effective at diverting wind and to an extent rain over your hands. If you have bar risers they become nothing more than cosmetic. A 1" rise will have your hands back in the flow above the mirrors.

I have the mirror wind deflectors and the side fairing wind deflectors.
The mirror deflectors are only for looks because I have 3" Roxx Risers on the handlebars. Some people fit motorcross style hand protectors to the handgrips for better wind/rain protection.
I have always liked the side fairing wind deflectors. The benefit for me was to stop half of each leg from getting wet in the rain, but I like the way they make the bike look as well. I got all of the deflectors from DSS.

I fitted the deflectors but the left side one snags on the bars when you go full lock. I ended up pushing it off when I turn my bike around to go down my drive way.

I have both sets of deflectors fitted and swear by them, picked the side deflectors up from Ebay UK and the mirror set was already fitted.
