Has anyone used the adjustable hand wings on the F6B yet. I rode in 28 degree temps on Christmas day and the only things that were frozen were my hands in gloves. Do these things work on the F6B and what do they look like.

I have had mine installed for a little over a week now and they are fantastic. I bought the dark tint, they look like they could have come with the bike to me. Prior to getting the Baker Hand Wings my heated grips all the way on full blast didn't even feel slightly warm once the temps dipped to the low 30's. This morning I rode in at 33 degrees with the grips on medium and everything was peachy.
What everybody else said.
Got dark tint Baker's and they work great @ keeping a fair amount of wind off hands & upper body.
13 F6B Deluxe I've taken the road less traveled, now where the hell am I?
I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just me !!
Just to add: I have used both the Baker hand wings and wings with lowers. Spoke with Baker before ordering. They said that the same wings that work on the GL 1800 will work on the F6B. Definitely reduces wind. I also just got First Gear heated glove liners and will try out soon. Got both from Wingstuff. Hoping the liners will work with my heated jacket. will keep you posted. hope this helps! ncf6b
I just choose not to ride in 30 degree weather :icon_LOL: i've actually had several sets of these and they really work as advertised I highly recommend them. Me personally I have my Victory Vision as well so when it's really cold I just ride that if i have to. I like the F6 for just that, more wind, more free feeling, it's nice to have two bikes
I recently got the Madstad. Had the wings for a little while before,,,
Been working w/Madstad regarding a little helmet flutter I can't seem to get rid of unless I fully close the wings,,, Actually planning on removing the wings this weekend to see what difference it makes.
Need a wind tunnel to see which way every little bit of wind is moving. Wouldn't surprise me if the summer and winter combinations may require 'different approach's'
In winter, the mirror wings by themselves are excellent for keeping the wind off your hands and also for assisting to keep some wind off your knees/legs.
Not so sure I want to ride w/o them in the winter now that I know how much I like 'em!!! LOL!!!
