My dirt bike has brushguards mounted on the bars. Taking this idea just a little further might be the easy answer to more wind protection. A new faring design would take a long time, but could cool or even an old one like the Liberator might work. http://www.craigvetter.com/pages/Vet...Liberator.html

As the Road Glide fairing is, it would have to have a rap-around affect that would probably destroy the design of the Batwing.

i have been trying to figure a way to make a power, or atleast adjustable windsheild.. i love the 3" i have but it is painful to take it on the highway that way, and i cant stand looking thru the windsheild around town all the time..that would be the best investment of development $$$
