Hey everyone, I just thought I'd share a couple shots of my Memphis Shades Gauntlet fairing. After riding with a heavily modded Emgo Viper cafe fairing for a year or so, I swapped over to the Gauntlet and now that I've put a few miles on it at freeway speeds, I can say this thing is rock solid and it does a great job blocking the air from my center mass (much better than my Viper fairing did), I have much less buffeting on my helmet too.

I laid some stripes on it using vinyl pinstripe tape and I'll probably end up shooting the inside with plastidip because it fairing is basically a fairing shaped windshield partially painted to make it look sort of like the HD 1/4 fairing, and some light still gets through the paint, and I kind of want to black out the screen too.

I was also able to mount my speakers in behind it using a couple HD quick detach windshield clamps.

Not a bad setup for the price, especially since I got a killer hook up on it from a fellow Dyna forum member.

 

Looks good, were you signals already moved to the forks, or is that something you had to do because of this fairing?

 

They were already moved before I put them on. But, with the bars I'm running, they would have worked out up on the bars.

 

That looks great. The pin striping really makes it. I wanted a panel job to match my green flake, but it would over $3K, so I've been contemplating some pinstripes instead. Really nice work man!

 

Looks good.

 

Nice job on the pinstripe, really ties it in with the rest of the bike and makes it look like it belongs there from the factory!

 

Thanks, I actually did the rest of the stripes and the tank too with tape and plastidip, the bike is actually only silver. So I figured I'd carry it over onto the fairing for exactly the reason you mentioned, to tie it all together.

 

Really sweet job on tying the whole theme together. Really diggin' that look!

I've been looking hard at all the quarter fairings and you may have just made up my mind.

 

Not too bad looking. I've been going back and forth between the Gauntlet and something like a Del Rey windshield. I don't want anything huge. On a side note - is that a Stig helmet I see in the background? Pretty cool if so.

 

Yeah, this is definitely big enough to do its job well, but small enough to easily take off and on.

As for the helmet, it's a knock-off of the Simpson Bandit that Stig wears. Same killer looks, a fraction of the price and hopefully I'll never have to find out if it's as safe in a tumble.
