Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Memphis Shades Slim/Fat with Lightbar?

Folks:
I enjoyed riding with no windshield so much this winter I'm considering ditching my Triumph Roadster screen. It's too much of a hassle to remove at will.
I have the light bar with turn signals mounted below. Has anyone installed a Memphis Shades Fats of Slim shield with the lightbar installed? If so, show me your picture(s).

Come on, nobody?

Crummy picture but all I have available right now. PM me with your email address if you want a better picture.

How about anyone with a front shot of the Memphis Shades Fats or Slim (no lightbar necessary)?
I'm concluding no one has the Memphis Fats/lightbar combo.
I can probably notch out the lights similar to the factory profile myself, but am curious as to how much material to remove.

Ok, Here's the Memphis Shades Fats and my bike below, with the current Triumph Roadster screen and driving lights. Anyone see an issue with cutting a notch in the Memphis Shades screen to clean the driving lamps?





I found this primer on cutting the plastic down, seems pretty simple.
Cutting a plastic windshield

Here is some pics of my set up.





The Memphis Shades was a 21" Fats. I cut out sections for the lights on the light bar and trimmed with auto door trim from Advanced Auto Parts. I took 4" off the top so I could look over the screen instead of through it. I like the wide protection, it works for my build. I am experimenting with lowers right now to try and eliminated the last little bit of buffing from air coming up from around the tank. The lowers are proving to be a little tricky due to my relocation of the front turn signals. By the way good link on "Cutting a Plastic Windshield", the difference was I used a Dremel with a cutting disk.

If you want some close up pics just shout.

Praise the Lord & thanks! I was giving up hope on a Memphis Shades screen with the lightbar. I also have the turnsignals mounted as yours. In the picture above, Hissing Sids bike, does that look like a 17" fats or 21" as yours?
I'd love a few more detailed pix of your setup and can yo uconfirm the fork mounts?

Some more pics





I didn't take much off each lower corners of the windshield to get it to fit closely around the lightbar. It does take a little bit of finesses to put it on and off but everything gives a little so it is pretty easy. The whole thing can be taken off or on in about 5 minutes.


Lowers Mounting Hardware


This is an experimental setup right now.
The hardware on the lower fork shrouds is MEM9891
got them from FastEddy

The hardware on the upper fork shroud is the clamps from MEM9887 and extension arms from MEM9891.

I think my final configuration will be to remove the upper shroud hardware and make a custom set of plastic shield for the MEM9891 lowers. I want the same amount of coverage the experimental set has and maybe I form the plastic with a curve at the top to close the gap with the windshield.

More ideas then time or money and sometime know how.

Here's your pics:

Thanks Soren, very helpul pix!

Mine is the Memphis Fats. Be aware that this windshield and lightbar combo requires you to either fabricate a bracket to move the lightbar forward almost two inched (my solution)or to cut holes in the windshield.

I pushed the lightbar forward with two short lengths of angle iron, so that the Fats screen would remain uncut.

I don't know enough cuss words to successfully cut Plexiglas
