Default Batwing thoughts

OK, Here I am with another question. My bike is a 2012 FXDC. I am thinking that I may want to go with a batwing fairing. I am kind of back and forth on the idea of one with audio. I like the idea of the Memphis Shades one also. One plus with it is that I already have one of their fat and also a slim shield, although they are both cut for 7" lights. But, I could purchase the mount kit and use those shields for a bit, so I don't have to purchase everything at once. Thoughts? Any great values out there on a fairing with audio? I have been searching on here for a while, but a lot of the results are a few years old, and new stuff comes out all the time. I really don't wish to spend $1,000 on a fairing, but would consider spending a bit more than the Memphis costs, if I really gain something for the extra cash.

Let's ask bruce wayne!


Sorry for the crack, but it sounds like your asking someone, anyone, to push you in a direction. Either way a batwing will deflect wind no matter the make. You just have to decide which options you prefer.

There are plenty of batwing fairings one ebay for 7" headlights. I saw one sell the other day for $137.00. I recently bought one for $176. But for 6" or smaller headlights the options are limited.

Reckless fairings sells them for $750. with radio and speakers:

Tsuyaku sells them with or without radio and speakers:

Dead Center Cycles are a forum sponsor (I think) and have them here:

I keep going back & forth on the idea. I'm going to a FLST front with a 16" & think the Tsukayu would be the way I'd go.

I have the Memphis Shades batwing and love it (sort of). Reason being is because of the Spoiler windshield. Long story short, don't get the Spoiler windshield - I can't get this freakin' thing to work. The batwing fairing itself is great, but I'm in the process of getting a "traditional" shield to reduce buffeting.

Good luck!
