No. They're the ones for the 2010 model but now you've found the site I've found the 'wings'; these ones.

Edit: Bugger. Now I've forgotten what I came in for!

Just wanted to say that I have been away at work for a few days .. using the bike and although not wet it was chilly a couple of days ago early morning and my hands were well protected. Simple idea with great benefits ... get some !

If he changes his mind please let me know and I'll take them; they look quite god. If not I'll order some from the States on Sunday.

Kevin,

I have one extra set if you want them? Same price as everyone else, £42.24.

For the '10 'model with no risers? Yes please.

If you PM me payment details I'll send it over. PayPal OK? (I'll pick up the payment cost).

Yep, for the '10, and they will fit risers or no risers.

Will PM you paypal details, and I will try and get them in Monday's post to you.

Kevin,

That picture looks like a pre-2010 bike to me, and I think BigAlan may be looking for a set for his 09.

All done Martin. Thanks.

The 2010 model seems to deflect the majority of the wind/weather over the hands/lower arms so I wasn't to sure how much benefit these deflectors are going to have - I have never really had a problem in any weather.

Picked the deflectors up from FH yesterday and fitted them on the way home. They do seem to make a slight difference ie in the hands are in still air but as it was a very nice day it wasn't really much of test. The real test will come in more adverse weather ie when its a colder and in the rain

So for me the jury is out

Steve

i am fitting them to a 2009...i looked at the fitment and guessed they will fit...si i'll bve doing the guinea pigging......personally i reckon they'll be ok...they may just be a winter fitment to take some of the wind/rain of the hands ...... if they dont work, i'll donate them to Routemaster ::)

Steve,

I have had mine on for about 700 miles now, and despite the rain and low single figures temperatures, I am still comfortable in summer gloves and heated grips on a low setting.

I think you will find them quite an improvement, particularly in the rain.

Just got my new GTR in Sept and have just joined the forum, as an all year rider changing from an ST1300 I find the protection on the GTR not as great. Are there any more of these things left for a standard 2011?

Cheers

Hi, sorry but none left from the original order. I can PM you Bill's contact details in the US, and I am sure he can supply direct to you, but they will be a little more expensive as there is no savings on postage or volume.

Thanks Martin,

Ill give it a go if you send me his details.

Cheers

Scotty .... I am sure you have read the previous inputs on these deflectors ... I too am an all year biker and even in the last 2 weeks, no rain but plenty of chill, they have proved , I think , to be very good ...   ;D

[Martin#30]

Thanks Martin,

Ill give it a go if you send me his details.

Bill's email address is Bill Purnell <[email protected]>, and Bill refers to these as Hand Wings.

Get in touch with him direct, he is a very nice guy.

Martin.
