Default batwing fairing question

just wondering if it will fit with the Nacelle kit? how big is the head light opening? does anyone know if the mounting spots will fit on the sides of the Nacelle?

I really like the way the wing looks but don't really want to give up the Nacelle
thanks for any input.

Memphis Shades offers them in various configurations, with and without the nacelle and aux lights. I have one that fits with the nacelle, but I don't have the aux lights. I used a local indy for sourcing one. The cost was about the same and it ensured that if something went wrong, I wasn't doing the legwork.

If you're looking for a batwing with stereo, I'd recommend contact the vendor directly. I'm not sure what they have to offer.

If U have the NCK then before buying it the manufacture will need to know what U have, If not then UR OOL.

This is the "Memphis Shades" fairing, I don't think it would go over the Nacelle.

thanks for the input guys. looks like I'm going to have to give them a call monday to see what m.s says about it. but after seeing these pic I really don't think its going to fit even if I take the nacelle kit off since I have chrome forks. which really sux since I want them both on the bike.

looks like I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Give M S a call, they have prettygood customer service.

Im pretty sure that they reccommend to use the RK Fairing for softails with the nacelle because the only difference is the headlight opening and still use the softail brackets. Also if you want to show off our chrome forks use he polished stanless and aluminum brackets not the black ones that they reccommend with the fairing. IMO thay look better with the chrome front end.
