Now, now, Wally... be easy on Deuuuce.

His concern is rollin' his bike around his garage, and it's his right to his "concern."

My concerns are appearantly much different, as I tend to RIDE and not PUSH my bike.

To each, their own...

Hip-hop??? Seriously, on a Harley?

Next you'll be telling us you have Rap on a play list.

What's wrong with Puff The Magic Dragon? It's on my iPod

My FLTRUSE rides like a large sport bike. Rock steady in our Florida trade winds. Riding in strong cross winds with a rider with a bat wing, he asked if I was fatigued by all the wind? I honestly didn't notice the cross winds till he mentioned them.

Personally I don't like a wind shield so close to my face in the event of a collision with a bat wing or a Canadian goose strike against a fork mounted bat wing . They also remind me of the low rent looking bat wings of the '70's.
Same thing here , higher windshield and the baffles, also agree that its an individual choice on batwing vs shark. Took me a few miles to really "like" the feel of the fixed fairing but once I did I loved it

Go bark up the other tree for those of us who prefer not to stretch our arms as far to push the stereo buttons vs. positioning a 800lb device balanced on two wheels on a narrow channel that also is on wheels.

Or, just contribute to this thread or STFU.

I like my Wings, Little River Band, etc but Hip Hop/rap, oh yeah. You get young, urban guys on Harleys and it's not Van Halen they are listening to.

But, I actually looked it up, Rap is part of Hip Hop.

First thing I did after picking up my new RGU was ride to Windvest and get a new windshield, no buffetting and the wind coming from under the fairing is kinda nice when it is warm. The windshield is a 12" and I am 6'
