I see that Baker makes one, looks like for a non-deflector bike and that would be the general idea. Has anyone come acrossed or made something like what is on the BMW 1600? That really works nicely to bring the air right into your torso. Of course I am being picky, because I would love to have something that would look nice deployed or retracted. Commuting here in the northeast, it would still be hot and humid, but at least it would be a nice breeze coming in.

I know that Baker make those for Gold Wings. I had a set on my GL1500. Worked real nice to pull in the air or deflect it away... for the rider. The passenger sometimes suffered from the back flow caused by the dead air bubble with the wings set to deflect. I think I've read somewhere of the GW wings installed on a ST fairing that worked out well.
I made these myself. I've had them on the bike for 5 years. They work great at getting cooler air around the mid-torso area and upper legs during the summer. During cooler mornings I reverse them if I'm wearing mesh pants.
