Last weekend at a rally I saw a GSA with a set of Bot-Wings installed, and I’m wondering if anyone here has tried them. If so, did they really help with residual buffeting? I get a pretty smooth airflow with the Puig touring windshield on my 2018 GS but there is still some minor buffeting creating helmet noise, but not movement. Also, I’m wondering what these things cost as there’s no pricing on the website and that’s a bit of a red flag for me.

Thanks,
DeVern

These look good. I sent a message to them asking about price.

I find it maddening and a bit shady to not show the cost, yet ask people to complete an order form.

Ass you complete the order form with model and color information, the pricing will appear, well before the submit order button appears.

$189 - plus $15 for optional trim - didn’t go far enough to determine shipping.

And....... Who you calling “Ass”?

Yeah, that was my hesitation as well. I prefer a more up-front format.

Thanks, did that for a dark smoke version to fit GS, but their year listing only goes to 2017. I’ve emailed for verification of fitment on a 2018 but no reply yet.

Oh, and it was $169 after inputting model and address, just as an FYI.

Best,

Anyone using these? If so, do they make a difference; is the vender okay to do business with?

Last I read Kevin was about to get multiple inches or feet of snow in the next day or so. He might not be able to test them (if he had them) for a while at least. Meanwhile today was 52 and sunny in Fairbanks.

DeVern, I accept the position of Bot Wing Test Pilot. I will PM my shipping address to you so you can have two sets delivered. I will need one set for a GS and one set for a GSA. Annie will be my Co-Test-Pilot on her GS.

Paul, You have a real mean streak... real mean.

Two days ago we were enjoying a pleasant meander around CO and UT in preparation for attending the Cedar City Getaway. Then we saw the weather forecast for tropical Montana. Since we had to be home on Tuesday we made our way home just in time to avoid riding in this bad weather. The hotel canceled our reservation with no charge and the MOA, in the person of the ever helpful Ray T., issued us a coupon that can be used for a future event.

. Ummm, I’ll get right on that as soon as I find my missing “round tuit”.

No testing here today—almost an inch of rain today and the same expected tomorrow. My weekend camping ride to Idaho went...down the drain.

Best,
