I put a batwing on an old Honda in the mid 70's for a long road trip. Got home and took it off. I went back and forth until I finally just left it on. For whatever reason, makers stopped using that flip-top seat that let you stash a little stuff - so I bought saddlebags. I still use them just for essentials like a small can of chain lube, some oil, a towel and a sandwich. Everything else still goes in a dry bag strapped on back.
The spotlights? Half to "balance" the look of the shield and half to make me more visible to that left turning texter.
