Love these purchased the complete set, all light smoke, Dual Air Wings, Hand Wings, Leg Wings, and Foot Wings in February 2010. Wife loves them the most improved the ride for her. Significantly has reduced the air buffeting for her ride as my Co-Rider. Momma’s happy everyone is HAPPY!

I've had these on for a full season now, great product! They add protection in cool weather without adding excess heat when the temps climb higher. Really make a difference when you open the foot vents on cool mornings and chilly evenings. Biggest plus to me is the way they prevent the bugs from hitting my boots and riding pants and lower rear sections of the bike, nice plus there. Only complaint is they are a different tint (kind of blue-ish) compared to the smoke tint of my Tulsa mirror deflectors; oh well

This WAS my 2nd set in 3 years. With both sets, my right deflector has snapped in half while riding at less than 55. I have no idea why they broke, but each time, I got off the bike and the right one was missing the top half. Each set was almost 2 years old so maybe simple fatigue (I leave them on year `round).

BUT, I like these, and am ordering another set.

This is the first piece of Baker Built product that I have purchased along with the foot wings and I am not at all impressed. The hardware looks and is cheap and trashy. It does not fit and grip the crash bar at all well and when fully tightened the unit will still move around. (Even over tightening did not cure this) I am running Kury chromed valve covers and while the right side wing fit fairly well, the left did not. The clearances are far too tight and it will require some massaging with a dremel tool to open it up. Apparently Baker has had some experience with this in the past as they supply some little rubber pads to place between the stock valve cover and the deflector. I haven't ridden with them yet so lets hope they do as Baker claims or they will be an EBay item.

Install was easy enough... couldn't get the snap on buttons to make the "clicking" noise they spoke of in the directions - and I pushed them on as hard as I could.

I originally had the leg wings in black and changed to the red to better suit the bike. I love em!! They're great all year long. I have everything from the hand wings all the way down to the leg wings. Wouldn't ride without em!!

Bought these recently up here. Quite honestly, can't tell the difference with them on or off. Don't know if they truly work because in the rain, my lower half still gets wet. Maybe I'll know better when the colder temps roll in. Otherwise, I don't think they work as well as you would think.

These are truly an amazing product. I just installed them last night, and rode today in temperatures ranging from 84 to 102 degrees. These really help keep the hot air from the radiators off your shins and lower legs.

The literature says you leave them on all year round. In the summer they will deflect the lower radiator outlet out and away from the driver's and passengers legs.

I don't know how well they work in winter yet, but I'll have to say they really made a difference in my comfort riding in hot weather here in central Texas.

There was no downside to installing these. The instructions were easy to understand and everything went on without a hitch. I like these leg wings and would buy them again without hesitation.
