Left side
Position the deflector so that the mount bend is down and is at the rear,... most of the winglet is forward of the mount.
You will work it out now.

5 minutes and a small hack saw and all is well. At least that is what I did. The winglet is also loosely mounted and can move 1 or 2 cm to the left and right without damaging it,

Wind deflectors that came with my 2011 model mounted on a 2015 bike. No problem. Just bolt straight on using the holes provided

[cough] yes [/cough] that is an issue when original owner puts a powerlet there... and i added wings.Use2btrix said:
I will later remove the powerlet and put it elsewhere and fill hole with a rubber plug.
here is my Install Instructions
You can see in the left side winglet pic how the long part of the winglet points forward.

Well it looks like mine are backwards lol. I feel like mine look a bit better my way, a bit less "obvious." Granted - seeing the other pictures now they look more effective when installed properly.
Interesting - mine helped a ton as-is. It'll be interesting to see how much more they help when flipped.

about the best I can do (zoom in):
As I recall the bigger problem was the hardware they came with. In a fair number Yamaha sent out (mine)
the threads on the plastic bolts do not match those on the retainer nuts (no way, no how). A trip to the
hardware short may be in order....

I installed the deflectors yesterday. It drove over an hour on freeway, I also have the tall Yamaha windscreen with them. OMG the air deflection is soooo good. Too good actually, the only brawvack is you lose sense of how fast you are going
I got them from an Amazon seller, refurbished for $65. Highly recommended!

I installed mine a few days ago and love how they work. I have the MadStad adjustable bracket set on high and can really tell the difference. WORD OF CAUTION...save yourself the frustration before trying to install them with the crappy plastic screws they ship with, and get yourself some metric bolts to put into the rubberized well nuts!
