Southwest Trikes' Airdams

[Delk]

Does anyone have these installed? Do they work?

[Mattel]

I don't have those, but I have the baker air wings that are similar. I would go with the baker's because they allow you to deflect the air away when it is cold, and most important pull air onto the driver when it is hot. This was one of the most frustrating things that the Baker's fixed, and that was no wind when it is hot. The Baker's are great, I will be at TT3 if you want to see them in person.


As a side note, this looks like the second or third version they have put out. It is a cool idea, and the color matches perfectly from the pictures. I am not sure if they go on and off easly, but SouthWest has put a lot of energy developing great Stallion accessories!

I have Baker Air Wings on my wifes stallion and yes they do work.

[Delk]

Yeah I have had baker wings on several of my goldwings. I was curious about the airdams because they give a much more finished look than the baker. I ordered a set yesterday so I guess I will find out.

You may want to try to attach them with a very high quality super sticky velcro, or in a way that you can remove them in the summer hot driving season. My airwings do reduce the wind noise for the passenger a little.

I had a set and they do look very good. However, my set didn't fit flush so the tape did not hold it down. Sent them back with several photos so they can hold the returned set up to another stallion to see if it is my body or the airdams. Southwest is very easy to work with and prompt on getting back to you if you have any issues. They offered to refund me, but I would rather see if the set they sent were possibly off a little and I would try another set.

Kathy said that it would probably be about 4 weeks before they would be able to paint and ship mine. Tomg is you body a fiberglass or plastic model. I think the tupperware is probably a little more uniform.

In the summer we adjust the Air wings to pull air onto the driver, if not the Stallion can get warm in SC. Once you have them on there for a day or so they look just like they belong. Be sure to post pictures of the final install so we can see how they turn out, it should be a fininsh look for sure.

I've got the new body parts (twice, since I'm the one who got T-boned last May). I doubt that my issues are resolved before the Texas run, next week, but hopefully they will be before the Maggie Valley ruun in June.

I considered the baker wings and the airdams but decided on the soft doors with the zippers this solved the wind for both me and my passenger. Secondly with the doors on it keeps rain mud etc from entering the compartment (as well as curious on lookers who think about test sitting inside the stallion.) Finally, believe it or not the air and heat stays within the sitting area longer as well as hearing the radio on the freeway is increased.

I have the Baker Air Wings on both of my trikes. i wouldn't be without them. What are you talking about "DAM"???

[deanone98]

I have the Baker Air Wings on mine and my only complaint is that they have a tendency to "spin" around on you, even when you really tighten them up.

Have you tried locktight? That solved my problem for me. I used blue, but if you are brave you can give red a shot....

The Air dams look good but they only keep the air out, they cannot direct the air onto the driver like the air wings. I don't like to use the AC, and would rather use the wind to cool me in the heat.

Looks like they have suspended the production of the Air Dam's from what I see on their web page..................
