Default 2012 Heritage /w Batwing

I see everyone sharing pictures of their BA bikes. Thought I'd post a few.
What do you think about a Heritage with a fairing?

Looks good but I've never been a fan of overloading a Softail with all of the Touring model stuff.

I like it . . . But some of em seem to sit straight up on the Softails.
Can it be tilted back some?

I wish it would tilt back a little.. I agree it would look better.. I guess I could play with the brackets but that sounds above my skill level..
