Just finished installing a new Memphis Shades Batwing onto my 07 RK Custom so thought i'd post a few pics and a few notes incase anyone else wants to do the same.
$310 delivered to the UK. (from BK Rider ; CA)
Fits RK custom even though it says it doesn't !
30 minutes to install.
Finish is excellent - no paint needed if your bike is black.
Inside of fairing is also excellent finish - smooth black.
Well Built.
Fitting kit is well made and easy to install.
5" screen in pics is a little too low so i've got a 7" on order now (i,m only 5' 7" tall as well).
I looked around for ages at what fairing to buy but decided on this due to cost and it seems to do the job nicely. I,ve installed a small i-pod stereo but the speakers are not seen in the pics.
Let me know if you want anymore info.![](http://www.harley-davidsonforums.com/forums/images/smilies/happy088.gif)

I would like info, it looks GREAT, I have been thinking of putting a batwing on my Road King Classic, and I have looked at the Memphis shade.
Does it give a better ride, and how does it effect gas milage, I herd that they don't realy improve the ride but do improve the gas milage.
Thanks
Terry
Edited to say Nice bike by the way

Rowle, since you put it on a Road King, how's the wind resistance, I ask because all the soft tail crowd love's it because you can position so it functions better, where the RK crowd says it is a fixed position and does not function as well, can you share your thoughts ?
How is it at high speed, with a helmet or not, will you still need ear plugs, and how tall are you? really think I want one but need more feedback. Price is great.

If your painter preps it properly, paint will stick. Most fairings come in a black gel coat that requires very little prep work to get it ready for paint.
