Had anyone tried the iconic parts winglets? Looks like most bikes now have this see v4 new bmw X-r etc to reduce wind flow
I just received mine the other day. Plans are to install them today and go for a test ride. Will report with some pictures later on. It’s 8:31 in the morning here in NY btw.
I beta tested the winglets ... they work very well. reduced wind buffeting considerably (subjective opinion). Am waiting on a production set being sent to me, as I enjoyed the beta version so much.
So after installing and test ride, I can confirm that there is less buffeting and the airflow is much smoother at speeds up to 85mph, which was the highest speed I achieved during my ride. Here are some variables: -I have a Pikes Peak carbon screen -My torso length is approximately 24" -Shoei X-14 helmet with Sena 20S attached -Iconic windscreen extender adaptors One thing I did notice is that my Barkbusters handguards touch the winglets at full lock. I may have a few more mm of lock without the guards. It should not be an issue without them otherwise.
The winglets didn't fit my 1260 they touched the bodywork. Jamie said I needed to fit the black plastic either side of the winglet but they had only supplied 4 not 8 needed. I removed them and have discarded them as they also look terrible next to a tinted screen. I reported the quality of the finish of the top edge of the brace and was told he would have words with the laser cutters. I also had to source different length bolts as the ones supplied were too short. Have not been offered the missing parts or a replacement brace or a discount. At £170 I'm a little disappointed. I do know this is a bespoke part but next to evotech parts the quality looks terrible. Maybe my experience is a one off. I must say that the satnav mount and spacers seem to work well but again as they both are 3d printed without being finished (sanded or dipped in acetone) they look a little rough and the nuts fall out the back when trying to fit the screen. On a positive note the satnat wobble is much better.
