The white Heritage is really growing on me. If you like the batwing, stick with it. I for one think it looks good.

yes its possible to tilt the fairing back some depending on the handle bars but the whole purpose of the batwing is to deflect the wind around you and crank out some tunes !

A white heritage is the only other color I like besides black and the batwing looks good on it.

I think a batwing/fairing looks out of place on a softail, but that's just me. If you've got a fully bagged bike, adding a fairing is really no big deal. At that point, it's pretty much all about comfort anyway.
