... also if you have a front engine guard you will need to cut a spot out for the turn in the front wheel.

A hole saw works well for that.

I mad a set of lowers for my 800 from adapting PC's template, 1500 template was too large really, also if you have a front engine guard you will need to cut a spot out for the turn in the front wheel.

I've not seen "air wings" per say, but Lowers are a popular addition, and they do a similar job.  If you want something even more like your air wings, then I'd suggest looking into an engine guard with chaps.

Here's some info on lowers: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=22935.0

And here's a Drifter with an engine guard with chaps added: http://www.accessoryinternational.com/merchant2/graphics/00000003/drifter_800_f&s.jpg

Tom, I remember seeing a few posts on here where members have made their own and they turned out great. You may have to go that route. Good luck.

Has anybody tried to fit up any accessory wind deflectors, such as Baker air wings?  I ride pretty much year-round here in the Northwest, and on my other bike I have Moto wings which really make a big difference, it's like having a faring to cover my legs.  I was just curious, because I was looking on the Baker site and they don't have Drifters as one of the bikes they build wind deflectors for, but they do have sort of a universal bracket to mount up to almost any bike.
