Airbaker Uppers and Lowers

[Bagger]

I hooked up the Baker Wings on my C14 this afternoon.  I'm not very mechanical, but it only took me about 30 minutes with Taiwanese tools.  If I did it again ... maybe 15-20 minutes.  EZ to do.

I don't think they look as ugly as I thought.  Yes, they were not cleaned up ... neither was my bike.  I just installed and rode.  I'll clean next week, or so.

Baker is just up the road from me, I am seriously thinking about stopping in to say HI "and leaving with a thing or two".

When you do, ask them to update their site with year-specific info and more pictures!!  (RE: Hand wings)

Not only are the mirrors higher, but they extended the dash with a lip about 1-2" out.  See Flathead's pics here for his hand deflectors...
Kind of hard to see the dash extension, but it's there.  It does not look like the Baker wings would work on the '10-'11's due to that lip.

Bagger, first off, where can I find those KMW stickers??

Do those wings also tilt in to bring warm air onto you in cooler weather? I mean, they ARE located right behind the outlet.

Contact Brad Esler  (bradesler AT yahoo.com)  I had a HMW in red on my ST1300.  I do get some folks coming up to me asking me, "What kind of BMW is that?".

I haven't worked with these all that much, but if you have the outside edges flared out ... cold air is moved around you.  If you flare them inboard, the Wings pull in cooler air for warmer temps.  The tops and bottoms work indivdually, so you can customize them to some degree or other. 

I need to ride a bit more with them ... have my gloves off and see how adjusting the Wings work.

I knew about the mirror movement, but not about the dash change.  Now I am bummed and even more confident I will have no hand wings anytime soon now.  Thanks for the info

I got my KMW stickers here. Realtimeindustries.com  look under the KLR selection.

I'm sure these are good stickers. 

But, Brad's made many for friends of mine, me and others.  Nothing but great reviews.  He's a good guy and a "one man show" that delivers the goods better than most.

I vote for Brad.  Email him ... he always responds quickly.

I have already seen those but I don't care for the design because I want something that is adjustable (remove air, add air) and doesn't have to span both dash bolts.

No worries

Baker hand wings are the best!  All summer, they helped bring air in behind the windshield.  Now in the fall, I start a ride while it's cool, wings closed.  After a few hours, it warms up, wings open.  Heading home in the evening, cools down, wings closed again.   I don't think they look as good as Flathead's wings, and I would really prefer them to have a second mounting bolt so they'd hold their position better, but I could never give up the dual functionality.

Ok, so finally got around to installing my airbakers uppers/lowers and feet.  Install went pretty quick.  Will see how they work on Tuesday (off on Monday).  Here some pics if anyone is interested.

Nice work, Will .... and nice pix.

I was hoping to try my B'Wings out today, but we had a foot of snow arrive at the hacienda over night and I got to use my chainsaw, plow and snow shovel instead.  What month is this??  Snow in CT-land before Halloween is not unheard of, but a foot+ is historic.

I'm sure it'll melt and I'll get to ride and check out the newly installed products.

I don't think the Air Wings will work with my Cee Bailey dome style windscreen.  I sent back the lowers since the highway pegs would interfere with their operation, too.  So, I only have the faring mounted Upper/Lowers.
