Hand Air Deflectors

Got the Baker's on. Disappointed in the hardware. Pretty cheezy to provide stick on rubber pads to put on the side faring so the deflector when closed wont mar the fairing. Also, the stop to prevent it from opening too far is very, well, cheezy. It is a spring clip nut with a rubber covered plastic screw, the spring nut will severely scratch the mirror when you put it on. No way of preventing this. By it's design, it requires an interference fit for it to remain secure. The template for the placement of it must not take our mirrors into account. My mirrors have a tapered ramp on the bottom that looks to be for support, but it limits where the spring nut can be placed.

Do they work? Yes, and so far quite well. I suspect they will work nicely in rain and the cold as well. Just wished they had better hardware.

Sorry...I totally disagree. Mine fit well, I don't see any issues with the product at all. Nothing has scratched on my equipment yet. What were they supposed to use besides the sticky pads? Mine are on to stay, so as far as the spring clip scratching anything, it's a moot point. I installed them first shot and not one issue yet after 31,000 miles. They don't do much in rain, but you feel air in the summer heat, and they make a difference in the cold.

Mine scratched my mirror housing. I only noticed because I had to move the stops to get the airflow correct..
