Thanks, I love the fact that I have 2 different styles if the fairing is on or off. I mostly keep it on though.

Here are the different looks

How does the fairing attach? Is it setup like a quick release or something more complicated?

I'm hoping to put something like a Memphis Shades Bullet fairing on my fatboy. But I'm worried that it won't fit (or indeed look any good) between a set of ape hangers. Anybody use this fairing and can say?

I have one on my Fatboy Lo, it works and fits perfectly on the bike but is also a quick-detach if you desire. I love the compactness yet functionality of it.

Thanks. Do you have apes? If so, what kind, and do you have any photos with the apes and fairing on? Thanks again in advance
