Blaque's First Bike - Fairing Recommendations?
Gentlemen,
It finally happened. I finally got my first bike! After years with all your help with recommendations, I ended up getting a 2013 denim black Street Bob. I'll make sure to throw some pictures up here.
Currently it has stock apes (I'm assuming or something similar). In the future I want to put between 8-12" West Coast T-Bars on. I'll ride it around and try out a few things to see what's most comfortable (I'm 6'1" and 200 lbs). It also has forward controls and I'm thinking about switching to mids, but that's a different story.
What I want to ask for today is for fairing recommendations. For the most part I will be riding without any fairing off the highway. However, I will occasionally take trips from my home in D.C. down to Raleigh (about 300 miles) a handful of times a year. I want a quick release fairing that's not too big, but still functional and not just for show.
The top 2 I'm leaning toward are the Memphis Shades Gauntlet and the HD OEM quarter fairing. Has anyone here had both and might be able to compare for me? The others I'm considering are the Memphis Shades Road Warrior and I've heard JD Customs makes some awesome stuff.
Not so important, I want it to either come in denim black or to be able to paint it in the future. I'm also hearing about Plex Audio for the first time and want to know if it's compatible with all fairings. Again, I've loved reading all the good info ya'll put on this forum as a spectator. I appreciate it and I'm super pumped to use it as a rider.
