Fatboy Lo w/ Batwing Fairing??
Does anyone here ride a Fatboy Lo with a batwing fairing? I'm trying to decide on a windsheild or the fairing. I really like the look of the streetglides but I love the feel of my Fatboy Lo. If you have pics of the fairing on your Fatboy Lo would you please post them. It would be much appreciated.

I did not have a Fatboy Lo, but I had a Lowered Fatboy (2" so it was lower than a Lo) and I ran no shield, sport shield or batwing for a few years. A lot of pictures in my albums. IMO they look best without any thing, the classic shield gives the best "classic" HD look but does not provide as much protection as a batwing with the correct size shield.
So it comes down to comfort or looks. In my case I found myself using the batwing more and more and them it almost never came off because of comfort, thats a big reason why I changed to a touring bike.
You need to make the decision its your bike and you need to like the way its set up

I have the Memphis Shades Batwing I got at a really good price from American Classic Motors in P.A.

They usually sell it cheaper on their e-bay site but if you don't like e-bay then find it on their e-bay site they will honor the price.
I drove 3hrs. there and picked mine up in person.
I used it on my 2010 Fat Boy Lo and I now have transferred it to my 2012 Lo.
It makes a big difference with blocking the wind and making it a more comfortable ride. I had the HD windshield and sold it once I tried this.
I'm 5'8" and use the 6" windshield in the Spring & Fall and extend my winter riding season by using the 12" windshield and a engine guard with Desert Dawgs engine guard chaps. I rode it in to work today.
In the summer I detach it all and ride with the wind in my face.

I see HogTunes even make a speaker system for it.
