Fairing on a Heritage With 16" Apes ?
Looking at something like the Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing for my 2011 Heritage.
Only problem is that I have Harley's 16" Apes/Risers Combo.
I'm ok with the fact that I won't get much wind protection for my hands/arms. Main reason I want to go with the Fairing is for less buffeting and a more "streamlined" line to cut thru the wind and make the bike a little "steadier" on a windy day. I'm currently just using the Windshield and the Wind Deflectors.
My Apes are angled forward towards me, so while I'm not 100% sure, I don't think clearance will be an issue.
Two questions
1. Will this look really stupid?
2. I don't really like the way the Wind Deflectors look. Will I be able to lose the Wind Deflectors with the Fairing?
Thanks

Won't say it would look stupid, but it would certainly be different. I can appreciate the desire for a better ride on a windy day. I think there would be a lot of different things going on: apes, big fairing, studs on the seat and on the leather bag all with the concho theme.
