Looks great with the batwing fairing!

Can you provide some parts numbers and/or additional info for those of us so inclined to desire a fairing?

Thanks,

Bluto



If you look at the 2nd picture there it shows how we mounted the fairing. And I'll add a couple more pics in a bit here as well..

He used to have 2 sets of lower air deflectors on his fork tubes.. Both from Memphis shades as well. I just pulled apart the fork mounts.. Put them on top.. then pulled the mounts off the tiny mounting rings for the batwing (the model used for the Honda Shadow 750).. A little finessing and they fit together. Now.. The upper tubes are tapered and the lower mounts don't secure to them. You can either measure and order appropriate sized rings or find a way to shim them with rubber or other material. Due to the offset and desire to use what we have we'll be doing a combination of a section from an old radiator hose and some hot glue to fill the gap.

We also had to modify the batwing just a touch. The headlight hole was too small. But luckily that entire assembly within the batwing is plastic and not fiberglass.. So we cut about a 5" piece off the bottom and cut/flared/flowered the rest of the headlight hole..

It's a snug fit to be sure. And no longer "Quick release" as you have to pull the auxiliary lights off the light bar to get it on or off.

To be honest.. As these things go.. This was pretty simple. Even the existing mounts for barn door of a screen he had on it previously were dangerously close to working with just a couple pieces of bent aluminum to secure it. Which begs the question as to why Memphis Shades claim that this will not work. They could provide some simple instructions and their off the shelf parts and open up a whole other line of bikes for their product.
