Default Memphis Shades

I have been looking into a fairing for my 98 flhr and a couple people have mentioned Memphis Shades Batwing. I don't really care about a radio just wind deflection but I can't stand the look of the windshield. Anyone running one of these or have any experience with them? Or any suggestions that are not too expensive my local shop can get the Memphis Batwing color matched for $650 with quick detach set up. Thanks in advance for the input.

Default I love mine

Just make sure to get the hardware that allows you to adjust the angle. It's very light and gives you all the protection the other batwings do at a lower cost.

I bought a used Dead Center Fairing from here on the Forum Classified's, but I've seen alot of the aftermarket fairing's out there that are a lot less money, and provide substantial protection for a pretty decent price. You might check ebay too, sometimes you can find some good deals on slightly used, and even like new products there. I've heard good things about the Memphis Shades products especially if you don't want the tunes. I've got the Sirius, CD, FM setup, and didn't realize how much I would enjoy the music. Good Luck.
