Just picked up a new 2020 Road Glide Limited (FLTRK) and I know that earlier models had doors in the fairing air ducts that could be closed. Seems that HD found something else besides key fobs and saddlebag/tourpack removable luggage that they could remove while raising the price on the bike.  Does anyone have any idea as to whether or not anything is available.  THX

Look at a parts fiche for a 2019. The parts are available. There are folks that have already installed the vent doors on a 2020.

One of the main reasons Harley took them out is there were a lot of issues with them breaking and of course that meant Harley had to eat more $$$ because of warranty claims etc.  I put the Custom Dynamics Screens with the light in mine and then bought some magnetic nat material and cut it to fit the outside of the screens whenI needed to block the wind.  Another option for the Screens is make your own or do a search for Motorcycle Vent Screens to buy some

I have them on my RG and never close them.   I guess I would in a downpour.

Yeah, but you live in the tropics!
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

Because every shop on the Planet was repairing or replacing under warranty - Thank God!

I made my own out of gutter screens from Home Depot. Probably spent $6 or 8  on them. They keep the big bugs out at least.
