Jrk, looks like a killer deal but more than I'd like to spend. Thanks for throwing it out there though. But I am pretty interested in the tsukayu though. Seems like a good price depending on the quality.

Has anyone found the batwing makes the front end lighter at freeway speeds say above 75mph

Nope. Back when Joe and a number of us were first doing our various, independent
conversions, people wondered about gust sensitivity, crosswinds, etc, etc. and
aside from the hugely increased riding comfort, I've not seen any handling change.

FWIW, I've not seen any significant difference in fuel mileage or top end, either..

The finish and fit is good, I took a chance on it because it was the only stereo setup at the time made for a Dyna. Just fyi the product is made in China, but what really isn't these days? Looks like they use differant speakers now so they may of improved them some from the ones that came with mine. But overall I am impressed with the quality of the product and the shipping box it comes in is very secure, etc.

I rarely ride 75mph+ but do 70 mph often but I havent felt the front end feeling lighter at all. Not sure what you are talking about but maybe you have an issue somewhere else on the bike?
