I'm sure any of the online sites carry them. Dennis Kirk sponsors the site, Wingstuff are great people to deal with & usually ship quick. If that fails check with local shop they can probably order them in for you.

I buy a lot of stuff from this dealer. I just bought a complete set of Baker Wings for my 09 and the price was great. Also has free shipping over a certain dollar amount which it was for the Bakers. Hal will also match best price. You are going to love the Baker Wings.

Are those Baker wings that great.All I know is lately driving my new used 1982 aspencade it is way to warm. I just was wondering what I'm going to do when it gets real warm out. Can one adjust them for summer and winter,and will they stay put. Of coasre lately I have been riding with my vents closed.I have not even tried to open them yet.

You can also order direct from Baker Built at www.bakerbuilt.com. I have bought stuff from them at Americade and they are great folks to do business with.

Sorry Halfa12pak:
I had nothing but a good experience with them. Bought a ride off center stand from them at Americade last year and had them install it for $20.00. Took them over an hour just to get the old stand off my 1990 Gl1500SE. They never once complained or asked for more money. I will be getting one for my 1800 this year at Americade along with some Air Wings. They can do the install right there too.

Hey, halfa12pak: Glad to know that they work. I'm from Connecticut and this Wing is my daily driver to and from work from the snow flies til they sweep the sand off of the streets in the spring. It's getting a bit nippy around here at 6 am on the ride in. I'm hoping that the wings will keep the air off of the back of my hands. The heated grips take care of the palms.

Yes they are. I had them on my 98 GL1500 and they were one of the first items I bought for my 09 GL1800. They do a great job with wind management in both hot and cold weather.

I have the Air Wings on my 2008 Gl1800 Airbag and they are awesome. I would like to know if anyone has an idea of what you could put on the outer edge where the wing could touch or scratch the paint. I have seen a pair with a rubber type molding on the edge but couldn't find the rider to ask where he got them. Thanks for any help. Oh I live in Texas and the amount of hot air it deflects in the summer and the amount of warn air it directs inward in the winter is amazing. I love them. Sorry to all those who have had problems.

the baker hand wings that i installed come with little rubber buttons that are sticky on the back you just stick them on the bike where the wings might rub.

I have kept my personal promise. I have the belly pan installed so the next purchase is the wind wings.

Just hope when you came back from Vegas, you have some money left to buy those Wind-Wings.

It's funny chopin, I went to a suppliers holiday party at the Casino near Two Wheel. They gave us $30 on a card. You had to play it to cash it in, I hit for $40 my buddy hit for $15 & we got out of Dodge, went to a nice place to eat (Isabellas) T.W.W. I just couldn't believe how people sit there & stick money in those 1 arm bandits.

I can tell you why they stick money in those darn machines, well at least for me. Last summer we headed up north with another couple to listen too a great band and to gamble. I never gamble and just followed the little woman around until she got &*&^% So I went off by my self and stuck in some cash.I't s long story, but along the little woman came and she set the buttons for me and left.I saw there was one button not pushed, so I hit that one too.Next thing I knew I was $5,320.00 ahead. What I did, and didn't know it was i bet the whole $10.00 at one time. Wife came back along with the friends because a groupe was around the polish boy !! That was the last time I stuck any money in them. Darn , I think I lost $20.00
in all,and even had to buy breakfast the next morning.

I did a search for them and No luck.Could it be just for the newer bikes ? I just may end up making my own!!

I ordered replacement parts directly from Bakers themselves and never had any problems. When I'm in Americade this summer I have to replace a few items that are broken.

Thanks for the site, in fact I ordered them.
Seems like there is no end to buying equipment. The only thing I didn't like is having to drill a few holes because of stability reasons.
But ,I'm sure I will have to reinforce it somehow.Also see they sure stick out some, and would be the first to go if dropped.Just hoping they have plastic screws that brake off easily:cool:
