Yes. Yes. Yes.
+1, +1, +1
Had 'em on my Connie 10 and rigged a pair on light mounts for the feejer. Effectiveness differs by bike and set-up, but I've been pleased on both bikes.

squeezer-- by chance do you have a pic of them on your Feejer? I'm thinking of putting them on my 08.

These pics are from before I switched to FZ1 mirrors. They work fine with those too.
These aren't the ones Baker sells specifically for the FJR. I added these before he offered that product. You'll probably want to look at Baker's web site for the FJR specific ones. These are actually the Goldwing hand wings mounted on light brackets sold by Garauld on fjrforum.
This setup was not my idea, by the way. I think it was radman who came up with this.

Put a set on the RT today. They came from the factory assembled upside down- had to reverse the mounts- change the left to right and vice-versa. Once that was done, took a test ride in the calm evening air. These things work as advertised! Heat shouldn't be such a downer the next time the temp hits 90.
