Baker Air Wings?

Post by chicagorandy »

You betcha!

I've only put three hundred miles or so on my Voayager since last Monday, but today's couple hours in tropical jungle weather conditions of 100F heat index and 90% humidity, seated behind that AMAZINGLY effective tall windshield made a believer out of this old guy.

The ability to generate some 'breeze' will be greatly appreciated and may well add some riding days each season.

I'll try to post some pics of the install once the package arrives.

You will not be disappointed by the breeze these Air Wings can generate. I suggest you get the upper and lower...well worth it. You will also like it when the cooler weather comes. By closing the wings, you will get a lot less wind on you and your passenger. Enjoy them and have a great riding season.
If it is to be, it is up to me. Vince

According to his website, the upper/lower combo is ONLY for 1987 and newer Voyagers, not my '86? So the single version (new generation) is what I ordered.

Probably because of how they mount. The '87 and newer Voyagers have wind-deflectors (winglets) on the fairing and the '86 does not.

Here is a link to Baker's website with pricing for our Voyagers - they are NOT cheap.

http://bakerbuilt.com/bbairwings/87voy.html

Sadly they sent me an e-mail that my selection is on indefinite back order while they try to source arm brackets which are out of stock.

Good grief.

The Emgo Air Deflectors for the GL1100i have been use as a suitable substitute for the Baker Air Wings.

Here is a set on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Emgo-Air-De ... 0993398446

How do the Baker Air Wings mount? Do you have to drill holes in the faring?

Thanks, Randy for the write up. I hate drilling holes into the faring but I guess there is no choice. Here in Vegas I think air flow is more important than a few holes in my faring.
