Well good luck bro, and ride safe!

 

Thanks!

 

Hi Mike...loved reading your review and so glad the shield is working so well for you! Have a great weekend! Hope the weather allows for more riding!

 

Hi, Mark!

As you can tell, I'm very happy with your product. I'll be taking a 5 day trip through Big Bend,
Texas next month and I'm sure that my fatigue factor will be much less than normal.

Thanks!

 

For you guys using that fairing what part # is it? What mounting hardware?

 

I believe they are using a Memphis Shades batwing for a 650 V Start Classic, iinm....

 

If you feel rain is going to be an issue Clearview states that you can use Rain-X on their shield. I have their 8" shield, but the weather has sucked here all winter (hi of 18 today, snow since the beginning of December.) so I haven't had a chance to try it.

 

I used MS fairing PN: 2330-0017 and MS mounting hardware PN: 2320-0029, I have a 7" headlight though. I believe Memphis Shades is coming out with a Batwing for the 5 3/4" headlight

 

Hang back a little while. Memphis is making batwings for us that don't need to be modified. Not available yet but should be soon hopefully.

 

Using rain-x would be great. I used it on an old classic car I had and was on a trip wherre my wipers puked, and of course a huge rainstorm hit....lol. But I had applied the rain-x some time back and lo and behold it really kept the rain off.

I use Novus 1 on my shield and it actually causes the rain to skim off much like rain-x although not quite as well. We rode through a monster rain storm while going through the mountains on I-77 in West Virginia last summer and was sure glad to have the shield. It kept much of the rain off my face shield and out of my face. I could virtually see the spray flying up and over my head. Anything you can do to help gain visibility in a downpour like that is a great benefit. Because sometimes you just cannot pull off the road.
