| Hi I think I read something here about leg extenders that pop right in the footrest on the Swing when you take the old ones off. I am trying to find this link as I was riding to work this morning in about 35 degree weather my upper body is quite warm with just my leather and full shield but my legs act a funnel for the wind into my nether regions . I think this will work because if I pinch my knees against the center console the windflow decreases greatly. So if anyone remembers or knows of other products please let me know. Thanks |

| I purchased these off Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Silverwing-leg-air-deflectors-FREE-ShIp_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3ca697bbf8QQitemZ260492999672QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
and you can see the results here:

| For $20 they do the job and don't look too out of place. They also have the advantage of being slightly flexible so if you do catch a gate post they won't break. But as I said when they turn up you'll think 'what have I done' until they're on the bike. His instructions aren't instantly understandable either, but after a couple of reads and looking at the bike it will start to make sense.
The box is just the standard Honda one with a couple of Kitchen cabinet handles screwed on for strapping on camping gear. |

| Did anyone else look at the title of this thread and have pornographic thoughts? |
