How was the install? Easy....easy enough......Damn it, why did I do this?

 

The install was easy...Baker sends a guide for installation that you use to line up everything making sure you are set before you change anything, but the nerves were all over the place as I drilled holes in the fairings!!!

 

I bet.

Looks like you did a good job. You are really going to enjoy them. I held out so long before adding any lowers but once I did I realized that was foolish of me. The lowers and windshield are my most used and favorite features on my bikes.

 

Looks nice. I know it was fantasy, but I always thought it would be cool AFFF if an updated version of the Vision fairing had them integrated and powered. Imagine fully closed the fairing looks exactly the same but what looks like a small door like panel on the sides. Push a button and that panel pops out to your position, directing airflow over the engine. Push the button again and the shift to the extended position blocking air when cold or raining. Sigh.

 

I have them and love them. And if you need to replace any part of them it is no problem. Good people if you get a chance to speak with them.

 

I had tried to find the factory lower wind deflectors with no luck so I went with the Baker Air Wings. I think they came out nice and they work!!! After 3 days riding in 95+ degrees they were a blessing!!! View attachment 559325 View attachment 559325 View attachment 559327

I have them on my 2008 vision and i love them. I dont think they look bad at all. Good job installing.

 

Nice job on the install. I don't want to drill holes in the fairing. Anyway, I don't really need the lowers out here.

 

I bet you could come up with a modified bracket using 3M double-sided tape that might hold pretty well (using the 3M adhesive activator). Might be something to consider. Or, alternatively, there have been leaps and bounds made in suction cup technology. I've got one that's never failed and is used to mount on plane exteriors for the air races.

 

The way the bakers are mounted on the rear of the fairing the tape won't work.
I tried several tapes with and without activator with my custom wings and they eventually peeled off. The wing and bracket acts as a lever and puts too much tension on the joint. I had to put screws on mine.
The oem wings mount on the side of the fairing and the mount is mostly in shear force which is much better for the tape mounting.
