Batwing Fairing

Batwing fairing ordered !

I'll need to make some way to mount it on to my existing screen brackets but I don't mind that, it only cost £100 ( as opposed to between £400 & 500 for a Memphis Shades one )

Plan is to have it painted to match the bike, together with the pannier tops and maybe get a "trunk" with integral back rest Then it's all ready for the France trip next year !

Will post up pics when the thing is painted but don't hold your breath, it may be early next year by the time that is done, although I do plan to put it on the bike prior to it being painted and get all the brackets etc sorted whilst it's just plain black. If it gets scratched a little at that point it won't be too much of a heartache

Sounds coolio Mick,  where did you order it from?

Oo this sounds interesting, that's one hell of a price difference.

Got it off eBay lads .....

Although it says its for a Harley, it can fit other bikes If you make your own brackets. The key is the width of the mountings on the fairing vs the width of the forks & brackets. I've measured up the brackets for my old screen and this should fit with little modification ( I hope ! ).
Spoke to a guy at Snooty Fox bike night a while ago who'd bought one & fitted it to his VN1600 .... He also had colour matched panniers and trunk which is where I got the inspiration from. He reckoned it was fairly easy - as the famous last words go .... " How hard can it be ? " . Time will tell !

interested to see it fitted Mick great find

I like your plan Mick. 

I'll keep ya posted 

Did not ProudTexan David fit one of these? Why not ask him how he did it ? ? ?

Thats a bargain mick 

Good luck Mick,will make a great addition to the bike.

It will be easy to fit with a little bit of thought, great idea.

It's here !

Oh yes, 2 Christmases in a single year. 

Let the fun begin!!
