Oh wait, you mean a Batwing fairing. Nah, I don't think I'd do that. Wouldn't look right and it might make the springer a little squirrelly. That's a lot of weight to dump high up on the front end. Especially with a lot of wind pushing it around. But that's just me talkin'.
To me there's no difference with the faring on my bike it handles the same if not better

How tall are your bars ? Is there anyway you can post some pictures of how you mounted it? Really like to do this on my springer. Looking for some guidance. Awesome bike !

What kind of fairing did you use? I've been following his thread for years and I haven't found one that fits. I have a stock windshield mount, that's what you used right?
