I tried a bathing removal. Only problem was after a couple of days, I couldn't stand my own smell. Went back to bathing. As for Batwings? I love mine and would never think of a bike without one except for a Road King loaded up when needed. That sure would be easier than removing my fairing.

I haven't taken a bath in years. But I do shower daily.

But if I didn't want a touring bike with a fairing I would have bought a Road King.

Oh yeah, still have one.

Wanna bet the numbers in the OP username are his zip code? Okay, I checked and I am wrong unless they are a Kentucky snowbird or whatever you call them.
