[I wonder what caused them to drop to a 5a?]

They were 10a on the older model. I wonder what caused them to drop to a 5a? Is there something at risk now that you've put a 10a in there?

The heated grips of the '10 and newer are on the same circuit so they dropped the amperage of the accy plug. You should be fine with a 10A as long as you don't try and inflate the girlfriend and warm your hands at the same time.

No sir, use it all the time ;)

Thank you all for the kind words ;)

I just checked shipping to the UK for a single pair for another member and it runs about $10usd which would put the price at about $65usd. This includes all necessary hardware.  Currently trying to hook up with another member with an earlier model to get the templates made but has been snowing off & on for almost two weeks.  I'll let you all know when/if they are available for the earlier modes.

@Martin, check your jd-racing email when you get a minute...

Could someone send me the details for these guards? Even with good winter gloves my pinkies are feeling the cold. . . . Any help much appreciated

@Pete: I have a few pic's up on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000202049534&sk=photos that show the mounting etc.  The wings come with all of the hardware (4 stainless screws and 4 nylon spacers) to mount and require no drilling/modification to the bike.  The price would be $55US +shipping. You can pm me here with your post code and I can estimate shipping.

Cheers!

Argh, didn't realise that. I guess its not a problem with pre-2010 models as the windscreen stays static after ignition is switched off, so as long as its raised sufficiently all should be OK. On 2010 models onwards, the screen returns to a default lowered position which would then scrape the guards with the Calsci. Do you know how much it contacts by?

@Kwik (love the name!) I am not sure, I took a set back from a gentleman because 'they would not work' with the Cal Sci.

@Rusty: Will do! As long as you're talking pints and not tea  ;)

Quick tip... On the '10-'12 models if you hold the windscreen button in the up position while shutting down the ignition the windscreen will stay raised. Not claiming this is a viable solution for the cal-sci but just a helpful maintenance tip, makes it much easier to pop out the rivets or wash/wax, etc...

Cheers all!

Hi All,

Wanted to say hi and thank you for purchasing the hand wings, and many thanks to Martin for spreading the word and setting up an order for all of you.

In looking through the board I wanted to make a couple of comments/updated.

If the snow clears here over the next few weeks a fellow rider with a 2008 model has agreed to spend a Saturday with me so that I can hopefully get templates & fitment for the earlier models. I will let you all know if and when they become available.

So far, the only screen that does not work well with the wings is the large Cal-Sci, it wraps towards the rider a bit more & contacts the wings. 

I do make it across the pond, usually a couple of times a year, so I may be able to save you some shipping costs and bring a few sets with me if anyone is interested, just shoot me a PM.

Thanks again!
