Don't know if the bolt holes are the same, but it seems you could order the air dam for the 05 touring model. Mine is black (05).

Re: Front Fork Air Baffle

I put the chrome one on my 07 Ultra. It actually looks pretty good IMO. It does a great job of keeping rain and wind out of my face that used to blow up over my tank. Dunno how much air ir redirects over the engine but I guess if it's not going UP into my face it's probably going down between the lowers and over the front jug.

I installed the Kuryakyn model on my 07 RK Classic and quite honestly did it more for looks than application, don't really notice much if any difference in air flow but wind on my face and legs was never a problem beforehand.

Just a word for anyone installing one of these air dams.

Chase the threads in the tree with a tap before installing it or you stand a good chance of breaking the bolts from the powder coating in the threads.
