I had a left turner which was impossible to avoid, I actually hit the right corner of the vehicle meaning she pulled in front of me as I was already there! The F4 did not detach as would a stock shield, but it catapulted me to the right of the impact so that I did not fly forward into traffic. Thanks Don!

Look at the pics. The second one is through the F4 and you can see the trace of my helmet in an arc to the right.

We are so pleased you are OK. We often explain the difference between our polycarbonate shield and an acrylic shield but this is truly a testimonial to this. We are so glad you ok

$129.95 seems a little steep to me.
Let me know if you run a Christmas sale.

That was on the windshields. Not the air wings. But I did get free shipping.

For those of you that wonder how these work, I just received this e-mail from one of our customers and thought this testimony would give you direct feedback from a rider.

Just wanted to drop a line about these new windshield wings... installation was a breeze (pun intended) as I prepped for my first ride in 30 degree temperatures. They worked fantastically as I didn’t need to wear snowmobile type gloves. Had to have the heated hand warmers on, however, I could wear my normal gloves . Very nice. This investment goes a long way in helping me get out, in any weather, to get some wind therapy. Thank you for another quality product.

Have a great holiday season.

Follow the link. The grips are custom made and NOT the F3L grips. You might spend $20 and a little time.

I got my wifes air wings today and installed them. The only thing I did not like is it made my F4 shield look incomplete. Dang it now I have to buy another set. Is there a buy one get the second set at half price sale going on yet? LOL
really they look awesome! It gives her F3 a Darth Vader look.

I got my wings and they are fully assembled. But, there is no mounting hardware or directions/suggestions on how to identify the exact position of the holes to be drilled. The clearance of the wing over the mirror is very tight. That's a good thing unless the install is off by a slight amount. Did you guys receive the fastening hardware with your wings? Thanks.

I dont think it takes any hardware. Just remove the upper nuts and bolts and put the wings on the back side and put the nuts, bolts and plastic washers and caps back on.

As a complete accident, I just clicked on the install video for the 'wedgie' mirror shake cure...and noticed that that windshield has a right-angled bracket. It appears that would work just fine. As it is my shield attaches with just two, vertically aligned, bolts on each side which, have different spacing. Hmm, I want this to work!! These things will solve my biggest problem in cold weather riding.

Do you have an F4 shield. If it's an older model. You will need the new windshield mounting brackets like mine has. You will have to drill 2 holes after you mount new bracket. Call and request brackets.

They are 'on the way'. I am mainly relieved to learn that I am not a complete idiot! But, I do confess to being a partial idiot...
Thanks for the help.

There should be 4 brackets. 2 inside 2 outside. They should have stick on tape. Mine was already attached. After you line it up and stick on. You will need to drill the 4 upper holes thru windshield. The holes will be in the brackets so will be a good pilot. Your wings will mount on the inside of windshield.

Are theses wings adaptable to the F4 32 inch screen on a 2015 F3s?

I finally got to try my wings out and i am very happy to tell you that they are great, dual purpose, less wind in cold weather, more air if needed in warm weather.

Note to F-4 Customs ..... Great Job

I would say no. F3T and Limited only. I would call F4 customs and ask if they are planning on making some for yours.

F4 winshields added metal supports because the wide shields had too much movement. The metal supports use only the bottom 2 of 4 screws to mount the shield. all they did was employ the top 2 bolts for mounting the wings which is very smart. So you need the metal supports that have 4 hole apiece to be able to mount these new wings.

So I have the older F4. Can you post a close up pic of the required brackets and wings mounted to the shield?
Thanks, Rick

If you want to try the wings before you buy the F4 wings, here's how. Crude, but it will let you know if you want them.
