Got one not to good at night. I'll take one during the day later. Got another view of bike's right side.
The inner fairing really impressed me, very nice and has a provision for mounting a shield bag and a template for mounting St-glide mirrors too. I can say I like it better than the heavy touring fairing. This Bat only weights 7 lbs., since I listen to my pipes rumble instead of music. I can't hear anyway, left them in Nam!

It appears I cannot see the pictures, but I am considering doing the same thing to my 2013 heritage.. What model of fairing did you go with?

I think it looks great with the solo tour pak rack.
BTW, thanks for the deal on the 2-up tour pak rack

The Hoppe does have a backing. The Memphis is just a shell. The Hoppe and others like it have the original Batwing shape and size. The Memphis is a little smaller (which is fine)

I wondered the same. Hoppe Industries has views of the back for the different variations.
