Default MS Batwing fairing

Memphis Shades Batwing, Who has one, and can you take some good pics of the inside of it for me. How does it look finish wise? I'm going to have it painted to match the rest of the bike, just wondering of it looks nice and not like an after thought. Putting this on an 02 RK. I'm looking at this one because I don't really want the stereo and speakers. Also looking for other recommendations.

Thx

No pics right now, but the inside looks just like the outside. Finish is perfect. After two years, mine will be painted to match this winter. One of the best purchases I ever made for the long trips !!

I was going to say the same thing as Gyrene. The inside was finished like the outside. Nice and smooth.

I think you'll like it: I did mine with the "quick detach" hardware from MS, as there ARE times when I want to ride without it. Great quality.

Heres mine, its a good piece. Had to modify the brackets slightly so the fsiring would sit down lower, and really wrap tightly to the headlight. Gonna have it painted this winter.






Heres mine next to stock HD batwing ( dads bike)

You can mount an older Shovel type fairing. I had one on my '07 from an '84. Putting one from an '82 on my '12.

Just put a MS Fairing on my 06 RK custom about 3 weeks ago. So far, I love it. Looks great, easy on, easy off. Works with my 18" apes also.
