Guy's I have had 4 different fairing on my bike and this is the best yet. I got it back from the pin stripper and I'm very happy with it. Like the flame pattern, like the wind off my face and no bugs, no earplugs, nice day for a ride.
1) stock 19"
2) SE windseild shorty
3) Ness Bob Dron
4) Corbin duck bill
5) and now the Memphis Shades.
Batwings and Glides I have seen the lite, but I can remove mine when I want.

glad to see you like yours. been posting questions about how anyone liked the MS faring but got NO....responses. what height shield are you running? have you tried to use the oe winshield once you changed the mounts? read a few people thought it caused more wind in face due to the steep angle toward rider. I am 510 and have a mustang solo so I sit about a inch lower than stock.was tinking about getting the 7 inch shield.
Thanks,Bob

Bob, mine is the 7" one and I'm 5'10" myself, the angle of the MS sheild is the trick, I do think they need a recurve because of the stock seat position, it's better with a seat that slides you back. My seat is modified to sit back 3 "s so it's perfect.
If you want more info do an advanced search in the touring section under Memphis Shades, I put up some pictures of it out of the box and how it mounts. Hope it helps.

Now that is a nice looking fairing!!! The pin-striping looks fantastic. Don't know about the view from behind... kinda strange looking but I am used to looking at a factory batwing, and as stated yours comes off!!!

Very nicely done. I like the pin striping flames. Did you clear coat them after. I've got the Dead Center Detachable and I love it. But I really like the tunes it provides.

Harley wood, I'll see what I can do for you next time.
Big Sky no clear coat on them, it's an enamel piant and dries hard.
as for the striper he's at www.olindesigns.com in Phoenix. Thanks guys for the thumbs up.

"I clicked in here expecting to see strippers...."

What a silly assumption!!!

I clicked in here to get some hints on how stripping could help finance MY bike parts!!!
(figgured I could get women to PAY me to put my clothes back ON!

The striping looks GREAT, Phat!!!

Really great job and a joy to watch a master striper at work. Is that brush or tape? I've watched both being done and each is an artform unto itself!

Beautiful bike
