Freedom Wings
« on: June 11, 2005, 11:04:43 PM »

Here's a product getting some good reviews on another website (Harley Electra Glide Garage).  They're called Freedom Wings and look like they might be a good option for those both seeking relief from the heat and protection from the cold and/or rain.  Just thought I'd pass along for what it's worth.  Here's a link to their site: Freedom Wings

What about interference with the tank, neck, etc. on tight turns?


No interference at all. I would suggest using some teflon washers were they attach to the fairing. The brackets will scratch the paint.

At least in concept I like those alot.  How "closed" do they close and how well do they stay closed going down the road at either moderate (or even immoderate) speeds?

I put a set on my bike and they work great! Keeps the wind off of you when adjusted flat and when you turn them in it brings cool air into your arms and chest.

They stayed closed for me at over 100mph! There are screws that you can tighten to keep them in place. Here are a few pics but please excuse the dirty bike!

LOve they way they look. Juts ordered a set. Tell me what size teflon washers would you need. Also will the washers loosen the bolts once they are installed?

Somebody should approach them about a CVO Owner's Site discount.  Explain that we'll post an "ad" in our "for Sale" forum and that it will stay there as long as they're willing to offer something like a 10% discount for members of this site.

I think I like the Freedom Wings better but here's the competition, if anybody's researching these.

How cool is that!  I just ordered a set...   I'm hoping it will stop the buffeting I get from trucks and such when I open them up...  I'll let ya'll know how that works out... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

And it'll be like a sailboat at top speed guys... be careful.
I suspect the buffeting etc could be worse.

I actually think the reflective Kuryakyns would look good on the screamin chicken.  I will stop by the local K dealer and take a look.  This is a great idea for those of us in hot climates.  Thanks  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]
