Wind Wings Location

Post by p40warhawk67 »



Hi,

Just bought a used set of Wind Wings. Before I drill any holes I would like to know if anyone out there can share how's there's are installed\located.

Attached is what I got. ( also I have no idea what the half round thing I got with it is for...maybe an end of another bike)

Thank you,
Daniel

The ones on the left go right where your knees are. They bolt in place using the bolts that hold the top of the fairing in place, right underneath the cubbies. No drilling required.

I don't know about the other ones - they look like the ones for a GL1100. I don't think they are for a 1500.

The black ones in the photo look like the ones that were on my 88 when I got it. They go in the same spot as the ones Wing Admin is showing if the mounting bracket is the same. It kind of looks like it from the photo.
