wind buffeting

[geraldlanc]

I have been looking at the video of the Baker Built hand wings/air wings because I would like to reduce the wind noise/buffeting for both rider and passenger on my 08 Motortrike. Does anyone have experience with this product?

I put a full set of Baker Wings (all 4 sets) on and my SO reports helmet buffeting significantly reduced.

Have the full set on my trike. Wife says it really helped eliminate buffeting wind on her sitting up higher on the back seat. Helps her stay warmer in cool weather too. They will help keep some of the rain off when riding in wet weather.

Your passenger will benefit by installing the Trike Wings on the crash bars. They direct the low / ground wind out away from the bike and less wind up on the passenger. Very noticable improvement.

I made a set of trike wings and an air foil.The wings really keep out a lot of the air and also improved my gas mileage.The air foil (according to my wife) really reduced the amount of buffeting .
Works for us!!

I agree with this but, Becky said the BIG improvement came when we added the Kury rear airfoil. No bobble head at all for her. Charley

Hey Missouri Charley,

I have wondered about the rear air foil and if it really works. How difficult is it to install and how secure is it ? Not sure how it actually works, but will take your word for it that it does.

sgtbush, we got ours 2 years ago at WOTS and installation was free, he removed the rear backrest (easy) slipped the rear airfoil in place (easy) replaced the rear backrest (a little tight) and off we went. It is very secure and I have no idea how it works (magic dust) but it does. Charley

I have the baker wings on my trike, work great, in the summer you open them up, nice breeze,cold weather keep them closed, I have the full set mirror for hands,mid section,and lower, be careful when installing.

Baker wings are great especially in the Hot South, more air is good.
