Questions about Baker Built Hand Wings

[53driver]

My Baker Hand Wings are coming this week, I hope.
Need to get them installed before the journey to Bike Week.

Well, Terry, they are "stops" and they do what stops do, they determine the open position of the wings. There's a stop on the closed position too which is the rubber bumper on the fairing. With the open-position stop, you simply rotate the wings open until they contact the stop. So, there's no guesswork on how far to rotate the wings and the added advantage is that sudden gusts of wind can't blow them totally out-of-position.

Ahhhh OK
So they determine the open position of the wings??????/
So yah put them on so that you know what position they should be in??????
But if their not on you don"t care what position their in??????
Me I don't care so I'll keep em off
But obviously a lot of people do care what position they should be in
And if their not on sudden gusts of wind won't bother them???????
So I'm actually doing the wings a favor by not putting them on

Lol.....If it wasn't so bloody cold and the wind chill on the highway on the hands literally in the negative numbers on the F scale, I'd pass too.
Maybe I'll live somewhere where I can remove them and sell them. Someday.....

Mate so they stop the wind???
On my bike I get no wind on the hands but heaps of it below em
Tested it out today
Think the mirrors block it out
This week on the Gold Coast up to 37 Celsius that's 100 F

That's why you need them, to direct flow towards your body when it's bloody hot! Best accy. I've added to any bike....ever!

They also block wind from the rider and especially passengers ears.

Less wind noise = better sounding music.

I gets heaps of breeze
Havnt got one of them screens that keeps the wind off
I know why dogs keep their heads out the windows

Here are my Baker wings installed. I used auto trim instead of the stick on rubber pads for the hand wings.

I have two set of Baker mirror air wings one set on my 02 wing, one set on the wife's
Road Smith I love the look but I do not like the friction part to keep them from rotating
around, but on the F6b I have National Cycle with the ratchet mechanism, don't like the
look as well as the Bakers, but they stay in position at any speed up to about 105mph.

I found a link? video for those that don't know why dog's hang their heads out windows
