Street Glide Bat Wing
Curious as towhat owners of Street Glides think about the "Bat Wing." Do you think it is asuperior wind blocking fairing or just a device to store the stereo?
I'm going to test drive one next week. I'm close to ordering a Road King but feel it important to check out the Street Glide as well. Similar bikes, but yet very different! Would love to hear some input from owners.

RE: Street Glide Bat Wing
I have always used windshields until my 2007 SG. I like the batwing much better and find it is perfect for me and since I am short (5'5") the short windscreen is fine. The batwing also protects the hands. I think it is much better than a windshield.

It BECAME much better wind protection after I added the 9" windshield. The shorty it came with felt as though it directed more wind directly into my face than riding my sporty with nothing out front.
