That looks great. Any issues with the handlebar mounted speedo being in the way? Do you have photos from the cockpit side?
That headlight looks kind of 'buried' in there. Does it still light the road as well?

Hey expy, do you happen to know the part number of your wing? Thanks
Thanks Joe, looking forward to the pics of yours put all together.

Thanks for posting that. That looks great. One of the better looking Super Glides ever. Now all I need is risers, turn signal relocation, and a batwing. I should really stay away from this place.

I can only wish my set up turns out half as good. I'm planning on getting a set of hard bags and color matching them as well. And I have my fingers crossed that it's exacty the same wing even though it's the same part number

Yeah smokediver this place can cost you some money. rdmption I ordered the black trigger lock mount and think it blends well. I think I'm going to order the 7"-9" windshield as my 5" has some buffeting but looks cool. Thanks for the words all, appreciated.

Just Purchased a batwing from Tsukayu.
i've changed my Super Glide headlight to a 7" size, and Tsukayu offered to mod the Small Batwing with Radio (meant for Dynas with original headlight), to fit my 7" headlight, at no extra charge!
Stock just arrived and delivered direct to my workshop. Can't wait to see and install it this Saturday!
One down side, the delivery time is usually 2-4 weeks, but for my case, it took 6-7 weeks for delivery.

New windshield from National Cycle. I needed more coverage for my upper body and this shield REALLY flows the air around me. Of course, I had to be the poser and paint like a harley bat-wing fairing. Flat black from the inside shown through as gloss from the front. Its a little on the tall side, but so am I...6'4" with most all my height in my upper body. It may be painted a little high in the center, Will probably clean paint down a little and square it off a little lower...flat across the middle. This windshield REALLY makes my bike much more stable at a higher speed. Normally my comfort zone w/o a shield tops out at @50 mph. But I'm on Hwy 70 twice a day and with the original HD windshield , my comfort zone is @75. With this shield, 90 is more comfy than 75 with the other one. I shot up to 90 yesterday without really paying attention, backed up to 72 and was in real comfort!!

I have since sold the Dyna and bough a 2013 FLHTC. That being said, many people saw the fairing especially since I painted the inside with flat black so as to appear bright and shiny from the outside and everyone loved it who wanted fairings. It did a GREAT job, was easy to mount and maintain( just a touch of spray every now and then when I scuffed the inside) and would do it in a minute if I bought a Dyna again!!

Nice. Thanks for the reply.
How would you rate that fairing in fit and function vs others like Memphis shades?
