Wish I had put on Bakers long ago...

After 11 years, I finally installed Baker Air Wings on my 99 Tourer last week. Man, I wish I had done it earlier. Nice calm air, even at 85 mph. We got nine inches of rain yesterday, and I wanted to keep my ride-to-work streak going so I got to try them in heavy weather. My rain gear was a lot less billowy from the usual updraft and I felt like I had much more of a pocket at speed. I am using them with the Rifle fork deflectors, and I am really happy. I always pooh-poohed the Bakers because I thought they looked like ass, but these suckers do the job. And the clear ones don't look too bad...Well, they aren't pretty, but I am definitely keeping them!

I agree!
When we bought Kim's Valk it had Bakers on it. Kim said she didn't like them & it took me 10 seconds to transfer them to my bike!  ;D They keep my legs warm & the wind noise way down too.  :cooldude:

I really dislike wind coming in around the tree and over the tank.
