Default Batwing Fairing Air Deflectors????

Any recommendations? Like windshields, I'm sure everyone has their opinion as to what is best. I see the Memphis Shades ones are a bit cheaper than the Harley ones. Anyone have a review of the Memphis ones?

The big difference is the Harley ones can be "opened". THey have a swivel to let air pass through and the Memphis ones don't. I have the HD ones and have never opened them. My $.02 is that opening isn't worth $125.

I had one break. The pivot point snapped, my fault. I looked into replacing it, instead I glued it solid.

The HD deflectors are great on those hot summer days, provides a great stream of air which can be directed.

I'd go with the HD deflectors that can be opened. Mine have been opened since summer started. Makes a world of difference in the heat of summer. Gotta be careful though. Open them too far and I get too much helmet buffeting. Spend the extra dough. I'd bet you'll be glad you did.

Been running Kuryakyn Dragon WIngs for going on 6 years.
They swivel too.
No issues.
I think they "look" the best of the bunch.

I have a couple things like what you asking about but I gotta get for a bit.

Let me know and I'll dig them out and take a couple pics. I'd let them go cheap.

Freedom wings....adjustable. COme in smoked and dark grey (essentially black) for $80 a pair. Cheaper than the Harley ones, I believe (those are about $120, I think).

The Memphis Shade non adjustable ar $20 all day long on ebay. The Harley ones are $40 - $50. Do the Harley ones deflect more air or is it like everything else, you're paying for the MOCO name?
