I bought the Baker hand shields in dark tint. If these were available or I knew about them I would probably have bought these instead due to ratcheting mechanism. However, Baker ones work fine, too. I mostly leave them in closed position, but in heat they do stay in open position and direct wind onto me. They are very effective and simply expand the calm air pocket further.

As far as the looks, here is the picture of my F6B while riding the Deals Gap in NC with Baker air wings in closed position. I think they complement the looks and in my opinion the bike should have come with them stock:

And here is me at Daytona Bikeweek with air wings in the open position:

I am not a fan of Baker wings that mount to the side of fairing, which is what a lot of Goldwings have, but these I think look great and function even better. Quality so far seems to be good, no issues.
