Anyone know where to get vented cycle wings?
Hi
Has anyone ever found a company that supplies louvered cycle wings like these?
Cheers

looks like the louvered bit is an insert to me? Look good though, reminds me of that mental car that set jason plato on fire.

Yeah - I think you're right. I thought Robin hood did some arches with an Ali insert that I could get louvred and painted but I've found
nothing thus far.
I'm sure someone was selling GRP versions on eBay ages ago.

I think CBS do ally louvres. Buy some of them, cut holes in arches, stick on louvres.
I'd imagine buying them like that much more expensive.

If you want them to stop lift, then carbon mods sell the catering van style aero ones, which will be going on my MotaLeira.
Although the louvres might look  think about all of the crap thrown up by them and stones getting jammed in the slots.
Carbon mods:
Alternatively, go on ebay, there is someone who sells Aluminium wings, then get a fabrication company to cut them into them.

I think that TVR stopped using the louvred front arches when they lost too many windscreens due to the crap thrown out of them - you might think about
wearing a decent visor / body armour if you intend fitting them.

Is anyone a Blatchat member? Would they mind asking on there for me? The picture is of the Freestyle Duratec demonstrator.
Thanks in advance,

Just an update - spoke to Freestyle motorsport who still supply the arches. They are £89.50 ea.
I think I'll try me cheap versions and then make a carbon CSR/Vented decision next Xmas!
