Those original units were a bit bulkier and more difficult to install than this latest iteration, and quite frankly, made the lines of the fairing look rather bulbous and misshapen. But the folks at PMJ Enterprises haven't been sitting on their hands, and the all-new Wing Warmers are a marvel of efficiency and design esthetics . Wing Warmers are devices that attach to the outside of a Honda GL1500's radiator exhaust vents. They are designed with internal, closeable vents, so that on cold days the operator can reroute all of the hot air exhaust from the dual radiators through the fairing onto the rider's body. With the Warmers opened, which is the exact same effect as not having them at all, my knee recorded between 35 and 37 o F, checking every ten miles.
Installation is literally a snap-fit proposition, with one retaining screw to remove and replace.
After a full winter of testing, we were thrilled with ours, and highly recommend them if you do much cold weather riding at all on your Wing. We sincerely thank them for their continued support and for critiquing our Wing Warmer product.
