Plus another on the fairing. I've owned both and the fairing gives better protection in the cold. I had a Ultra Classic and loved the fairing but not all the extra weight that went with it.
I like the Memphis Shade Batwing the best. It's a little smaller than some of the others, comes off in seconds, has multiple windshields available (short, tall, curved, uncurved), adjustable angles and is light.
Tunes are available for it but after the bells and whistles of the Ulra I'm kinda liking the simplistics of a bare bones Sofatil.
I bought my 07 Heritage in Feb, and it had the fairing. It's not one of the fairings made for stereos etc like the big baggers.
However, I installed my head unit and 2 speakers in the fairing and now have 2 more speakers mounted on the luggage rack.
My stereo turned up to 24 is loud enough to hear clearly @ 70+ mph.
Everyone who has looked at my bike has commented on how good the fairing looks on it! I ride a good bit and like the fact the wind isn't blowing me off the bike all day!
Ultimately your choice of fairing or windshield but I will always go with less wind on me than not lol
I have had both on a slim a different bike, but I like the windshield better,for highway
the windshield would save on the cash end
Hi what windshield did you go with on your Slim? I returned the HD one I ordered that was recommended for the 18 Slim because it was too tall. Still shopping. Kinda interested in a fairing, not batwing, but I'm old school and like the looks of a windshield.
