I have mounted a Memphis Shades batwing and Rifle roadster fairing to my 09 Superglide Custom with quick detach hardware from Memphis.Needed to change handlebars to dragbars(was doing anyway) so could get closer to rider.Modified the Memphis w/s bag to not hit the master cyl. for front brake and installed the tallest w/S with 1" cut off to accomidate my height.Added the side wings from Memphis and I can run without my usual earplugs without buffeting or noise. Hole for headlight is too large for Dyna but I mounted flex plastic in Batwing to deflect wind.Very happy with results.I
use for long runs with the bubble fairing for most days with a 15" dark w/s.Some buffeting but looks great.

I have installed the MS batwing fairing on my 2009 FXD SuperGlide. Had to cut an notch in the bottom of the wind screen to clear the speedometer. If done right you can hardly notice it. I have the 7" wind screen and the air flow just hit my helmet causing a little bit of buffeting, with a 9" that should go away. I really do like it. Y0ou can see it in my sig, also have an album on my profile with more picture.

Here's mine on my '09 FXDC.
My usual low-buck special.
Fairing is from an '83 FLH, bought off Ebay for $100. I made some offset brackets from 12 gauge stainless steel to mount it off the fork clamp bolts (which I replaced with longer ones. 3/8" stainless water pipe makes a perfect size spacer for this bolt, by the way). Got a piece of black polycarbonate sheet and cut out a new 'shield. Mounted the signals off the lower bracket bolts. Cleaned up the hardware, polished the stainless, had a bud with a body shop lay on a new coat of vivid black.
All in less than $250.
It's not quick change, but I found that I rarely removed my MoCo quick detach shield anyway.
Still looking for a screamin deal on a larger headlight.
Cheers,
Ken
