Memphis Shades Cafe Fairing
So I'm prowling the market looking for a 1/4 fairing and am down to the Memphis Shades cafe fairing and the newer arlen ness bolt on 1/4. I know there are several threads out there that crap on the arlen ness for being poorly made and vibrating but there isn't really anyone saying anything about the Memphis Shades one. If anyone can give me some insight on this that would be solid.

Gotcha. Yeah, let me know how the mounting goes and how sturdy it feels. -Nic

I have a Ness Narrow Glide fairing on my '14 Bob. First thoughts when i opened the box were "damn that's flimsier than I expected" but after I mounted it I don't really have problem with the thin-ness of it. Mounting hardware holds it in place well. Have nothing else to compare to as far as any of the other makers. I've got 3500 miles with it in the wind so far. Done a few road trips already and out across the highway at 90mph plus with a sidewind and it hasn't given me any issues. Windshield shuttered a tad with the cross wind but nothing major IMO.

Jesse: When I got my SuperGlide it had a Conely 1/4 with a 12" shield on it and it shutters like hell when I'm goin over 80. So thats what I'm afraid of with the Ness one with people talking down on its rigidity. Thanks for the info though, gives me an opinion thats not negative.
CGURRO: I have been looking for the Harley version but can only find it through ebay and its pricey with the addition of the mounting hardware for the new dyna forks. I'm goin by the dealership near me today to see if they could still order one in. I'm wondering if the smaller Memphis one is solid though becuase I've heard nothing but good things about the guantlet fairing.
