Default Batwing Fairing
I have been thinking for a while to buy a detachable Batwing fairing for my Slim. I have a light bar and already have the harley detachable windscreen. I was wondering if I could use my Harley hardware that stays on the bike with the aftermarket batwings. I'm looking at either a Memphis shades or Quadzilla (or whatever its called).

Anyone have any experience and/or pictures of these on an FL Softail?

Am I the only one who thinks a Batwing Fairing does not belong on a Slim? That bike is a "Hot Rod", not a Tourer. Just my opinion.

That's why I want a removable one.

Default batwing fairing
I have the Memphis shades and it uses a little different hardware. I like the fairing much better than the windshield and I think it looks better than it too. Imo the windshield makes it look like a police bike. Love the hot rod nature of my slim didn't want a touring bike so the fairing helps give me the best of both worlds and it sure has been nice on those cold days I might not have ridden.

Mon,
I'll answer just in case badger doesn't see your inquiry.
Its Memphis Shades.
The fairing is PN# 2330-0017
The mounts come from Memphis Shades (trigger lock PN# 2320-0091). The fairing comes off much like a quick release windshield.
I have one on my Slim and just did a two day trip from St. Louis to Indy to Michigan and back to St. Louis and was really pleased with the wind protection.

Its not quite as good protection as a stock FLH fairing as it is a bit smaller but it needs to be to look right in the Slim.
