Default New Fairing...

Stopped in at a bike shop about an hour from my place (Brantford Ont). Guy imports alot of bikes from the US, not where I bought mine but anyways whenI walked in I noticed this Memphis Shades batwing on the shelf. Asked kindly if the fella wouldnt mind carrying it out and test fitting it on my R/K ( worried about tach clearance ) Thing fits perfect, installed it in the parking lot and rode home with it on.

I think its looks pretty sweet, guy charged 450 for it, which isnt bad considering its 442 from Memphis Shades ( dont think he made much off of me ) Anyways here she is.

got same one on my 2011 rkc. bike is black so its a perfect match. b4 i bought i contacted memphis shades and no one could tell me if it would mount using stock hardware. i think it can because my stock windshield fits with the memphis mounts which are just slightly different bushings. i like the fact i can alternate quickly between fairing, windshield and nothing.it gives the bike different looks. im working on trying to find a way to mount a radio and speakers preferably to the fairing that doesn't look crappy.

Rode with this thing again today, I am really liking it. Might try to have it painted this winter along with klock werks upper and lower saddlebag fillers. Where can paints to match HD colors be purchased?

You can buy it from your Harley Dealer, or have a custom shop match it for you.
