Default Fairing opinions for a bike with apes

I want a little bigger fairing for my bike that has 14" apes. I am choosing between these three. Which would look/work better if your choice? I like all of them but favor the top one for blocking a little wind.

None of those look like they will do much as fairings go. See here.

If I read your thread first I wouldn't have asked for opinions. I would have said anyone using any of these fairings with pics.

I just saw a real nice one on a WG over in the dyna forum, it looked really good. I think it was in the thread "what did you do to your dyna today".

Honestly I don't see any of the ones you have there doing very much good nor do I myself think they would look right on a bike. Not sure if it is doable but have you ever looked into a Memphis Shades fairing for your bike? Not so sure what that would look like either but at least they are quick detachable and provide all the protection you could ask for.

Put the stock bars back on. They look much better anyway.

The apes feel good and comfortable. I also bought it with the apes on, don't have stock bars.
