When it's windy, I get some annoying helmet buffeting coming from below.  I had some MS lowers on my VTX, and it was just what the Dr. ordered.  Want to do the same for the Valk, but I never hear anyone mention plain old lowers, everyone talks about Baker air wings.  I live in Florida, I don't have to worry much about blocking cold air off my legs.  And no matter how much an air wing opens, I can't imagine it will do a thing to help in the Florida summer heat.

So what's the deal?  Are lowers a bad choice for a Dragon?  The Rifle lowers look okay, anyone using them?

Not exactly what you asked, but... I've got a set of the Wayne's World lighted dragon lowers:

AND the Baker's.

It took both of those together to make the helmet buffeting manageable for me, especially with a full face.

Another thing about the Bakers - It's not just for the cold, it's also for the rain. Close the Bakers up totally and keep your legs nice and dry in that Florida rain...

Good question.
 I was wondering the same as the lowers on my Vol worked wonders. The Airwings kinda look ......... I'll  just leave it at that.
