Winglets added to Police brackets

[Jambriwal]

Purchased some Baker Built under mirror winglets. Mounted on top with police brackets. Always had a bit of turbulence comming off sides of windsheild. Plus they can be turned in for cooler air flow.

Nice!
I like the tasteful windshield decal, too.

They look like baker air wings that go under mirrors for previous version Wings.

Yeah, they definitely do NOT look like their ST1300 air wings, seen HERE.

Mine came on the bike. You can order them direct from Honda though, they are pricey and you will need the longer bolts and the other rubber mirror covers if you want it correct.

Well blow me down. I never knew Honda offered these for an ST1300.

Came with the PA police package. Also included another bracket on rear for additional lights and shotgun mount.

One thing to note is the Police front frame around the lights / dash has been reinforced to allow those over the mirror lights to not crack/break the sub-frame in those areas due to the weight of the lights.

I know there's a pic floating around somewhere showing the reinforcement as well as a cracked sub-frame when using on a non-PA bike. Not sure if the wind resistance from those would equal or be less or more than police lights.

 

[Sadlsor]

No doubt the air wings would add stress to the subframe, regardless.

The PA light brackets were in the saddle bag when purchased. They come with longer mounting screws to attach to the fairing. Also the rubber gasket needed adjustment. They seem strong enough to mount lights or winglets. No worries at this point in time.

I have those also.

Original front cowl stay on the left, cop stay on the right. I have cop stays on the 2004 & 2010.

So the PA bracket does appear stronger? Thanks for the pic.

I better take a look at mine and think about getting the PA brackets then, I have the aux lights up there and haven't thought of that before.

I really like the versatility and look of the wings on those mounts !
