I can't give you any feedback specifically on the Memphis Shades version - but I got a set of LRS Hawg Wings (pic from their website below).
Look pretty much the same to me?

I think I paid a little less with the 40% discount I got off from LRS (I think they still have that discount going?)
I don't have any interest in LRS- just like their products I have bought so far.
They made a noticeable difference to me in reducing the wind buffeting from off the sides of the fairing coming by the tank. Those combined with a taller 7" shield I put on- feels like the buffeting is 100% better than without them and the stock 4" shield.

You may want to look into the Freedom Wings. They fit well and you can open or close them depending on the air you need.

Rucker00; I replaced my HD ones with these. These look a lot better and direct the wind farther away from you than the HD ones. The color of the black one which I got is see thru and not solid... FYI.. you will love it. It reduces the wind noise by about 40-50%.

Fuzzy: Thanks for the heads-up on the fact that they are see thru, and I'm cool with that. I'm leaning in this direction because it sounds like they will work fine and they have a curve to them that is more inline with the curves of the fairing (rather than just straight flat like others I've seen).

ALL: I'll post pics when I get them installed so that you all can compare. Thanks for the input.

I ordered them last week, received them and installed them yesterday, and rode with them this morning. I think they work and look great. Highly recommend and at a great price with many color options. $30 out of JP Cycles.
