I need to know if the air deflectors I see on the wings either on the windshield or lower faring can be turned in to blow air on to the rider. I know there is allot of talk on how they reduce buffeting but nothing on directing air to the rider, Like the old car wing windows how we would turn them in reverse to force air into the car.
Thanks.
 
I have the lower fairing wings and they are like the old car wing vents, can turn to blow lots of air on you.
Helps a lot in the summer up to a certain temp, 95-100 or so but then above that it's like getting blasted with a heat gun so at times they are better turned out.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I bit the bait and bought a set..They go on the side of the windshied and are clear, look like they could be manipulated to bring in a little air but not sure, If not I`ll look for a pair of the lower mounted type..
 
The windshield mounted on my 12 were not adjustable... they were hard band mounted.. the side wings on the fairing..... they are adjustable cab be turned to catch wind and closed to block.. and they are advertised that way..
 
Here are a pair of the mounts for one side of the windshield wing...

As you can see they are not flexible or adjustable..

Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea they made non adjustable ones, The ones I bought have hinges so maybe they can pull some air in at some adjustment angle, if not I`m sure they will provide comfort in some other way.
