Front Wind Deflectors

[donaldcc]

  I have a Tourer with Baker Airwings and want to add front airwings.  I searched a post from a couple years ago and most posters seemed to like them.  some seem to have fabricated their own but too much work for me.

  What do you who have them think, pro or con.  I looked at BigBikethings and ValkyrieBling.  Any info appreciated.  Any brand or vendor you like or dislike?  Have liked ValkyrieBling for the few things I got there.

Mempohis shades are the ones I prefer.

A lot of adjustment and light as a feather.

Have had three pairs on different bikes and happy with each.

Although the chrome factor is not there on these at all but you have a choice of different shades, shades get it..

I chose dark black each time.

  BigAl on their site I see The Batwing and wind deflectors.  What do you have and any pics??

I got some similar to those. Had them on last year till I put wings on my fairing. Now they have not been on the bike. Had'm cause the wind would make my hat fly off. After they were on, hat stayed still. I will put them on to travel.

Where you getting wind at?

 Not having anything uncomfortable even at high speed, but it does seem like i am having flow over the Bakers and from under the grips.  Summer here now so I open bottom half of baker to get more air in around legs so the engine heat does not kill me.  Wondering if another set up front would really give more options to direct air flow depending on temp.  or do they not really matter that much??

Those are two good vendors, both with very different products... BBT makes their stuff, some of which I have and like,
and ValkyrieBling specializes in having all the stuff you "used to be able to get" for Valkyries...

Just go with the BBT deflectors.  I have the HondaLine ones on my I/S and the BBT on my Std.  Both function the same, but the BBT ones, the panels can be taken off or put on in about 1 minute if you so desire.  On the BBT, you can also adjust the angle of the panels.  Anything by Honda out there that can still be found will cost a Fortune!
