You're not me, you're definitely not my girlfriend and we don't always want house mixed with hip hop with my classic rock or as she calls it, "puff the magic dragon" music, lol.
Hip-hop??? Seriously, on a Harley?
Next you'll be telling us you have Rap on a play list.
What's wrong with Puff The Magic Dragon? It's on my iPod
I grew up riding fixed Windjammer fairings and fairings mounted to the frame on sport bikes and touring bikes. Love the sleek shark nose over a decrepit old bat wing. LOL
To reduce wind to almost nothing on a shark nose, just install a taller wind shield and wind baffle.
My FLTRUSE rides like a large sport bike. Rock steady in our Florida trade winds. Riding in strong cross winds with a rider with a bat wing, he asked if I was fatigued by all the wind? I honestly didn't notice the cross winds till he mentioned them.
Personally I don't like a wind shield so close to my face in the event of a collision with a bat wing or a Canadian goose strike against a fork mounted bat wing . They also remind me of the low rent looking bat wings of the '70's.
Same thing here , higher windshield and the baffles, also agree that its an individual choice on batwing vs shark. Took me a few miles to really "like" the feel of the fixed fairing but once I did I loved it
His concern is rollin' his bike around his garage, and it's his right to his "concern."
My concerns are appearantly much different, as I tend to RIDE and not PUSH my bike.
To each, their own...

Go bark up the other tree for those of us who prefer not to stretch our arms as far to push the stereo buttons vs. positioning a 800lb device balanced on two wheels on a narrow channel that also is on wheels.
Or, just contribute to this thread or STFU.

I like my Wings, Little River Band, etc but Hip Hop/rap, oh yeah. You get young, urban guys on Harleys and it's not Van Halen they are listening to.
But, I actually looked it up, Rap is part of Hip Hop.
First thing I did after picking up my new RGU was ride to Windvest and get a new windshield, no buffetting and the wind coming from under the fairing is kinda nice when it is warm. The windshield is a 12" and I am 6'
