Tired of the wind flow from under the fairing of my `15 Triglide. Looking at options. Anyone using the Baker Built air deflectors? Any other options out there?

 

I've also been looking at the Bakers, I've used their products before on Goldwings, they make solid products ..

 

Same here. Had them on a couple of Gold Wings also. I am going to order a set tomorrow. I will post how they work out.

I've recently purchased these. I'm pretty happy with them. These significantly reduce the airflow from under the fairing, but do not stop it.

 

Could you post a pic mounted .. I can't seem to get the one on the site to expand ... been watching these too

My only concern with "blocking the wind", with the mostly air cooled beast, I worry about robbing it of cooling ... I get no heat on me (so far) and don't want to start. Plus I'd like it to last awhile.

 

This is my question also.
I installed the 1.5" tank lift, but it only helped with the buffeting somewhat.
I don't want to do anything to hinder the cooling airflow to the engine.
Do these deflectors cause any cooling problems?

 

Not to worry, if you put the air dams on the front to stop the wind buffeting and the engine gets hot, you can always add fans, take out the cat, add a tuner, put on a fan assisted oil cooler, change out the entire exhaust system, or ride it only in the winter.... if it isn't too cold for you

I can/will if you promise not to make fun of how dirty Big Blue is. I'll shrink a few and put 'em on in a minute.

They don't block ANY wind going to the engine. The lowers do more blocking. These little guys are above the lower and ay even divert some air under the deflector down toward the engine and your shins.

 

I haven't noticed any cooling problems, but Big Blue is a 2012, so I only have heating problems

 

Steve, the more I read your posts the more you make me a believer! I now have about 35K on two trikes and I'm starting to get convinced that they run pretty good as is. But I still love my gadgets and upgrade projects
I had a good laugh though! It is funny and life is too short to get upset. The only thing that I should get upset about is looking out my office window and seeing Big Blue sit there not being ridden!
