Take Flight With The Memphis Shades Batwing
Almost every rider wants to be able to
achieve the look of a custom motorcycle. Unfortunately, not
everyone has the budget to make that dream a reality. The good news
is there is plenty of room for improvisation when it comes to
loading a bike with some of the latest and greatest motorcycle parts,
and investing in the right items could make a significant
difference in how you and other perceive your motorcycle.
While there are countless different directions you could go in when
outfitting a bike with custom parts, one choice that is both
attractive and practical is a windshield or a custom fairing.
Installing the [mageProductLink sku="mem2330-0023" title="Memphis
Shades Batwing Fairings"]Memphis Shades Batwing
Fairing[/mageProductLink] onto your motorcycle not only adds to the
overall appearance of the bike, contributing to a sleek look and
providing plenty of attitude, but it also has a practical function
as well.
Step 1 - The Batwing Fairing
[mageProductLink sku="mem2330-0023" title=""]
[/mageProductLink]So what makes the
Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing a good choice for you? For one, the
Batwing is made from incredibly strong ABS plastic and black Lucite
acrylic, perfect as is or with a custom paint job. This sleek
appearance ensures it meshes well with almost any style bike, and
it will remain resistant to scratches or harm that you may
encounter during your adventures.
It is made in an aerodynamic shape to better deflect wind. Because
of the shape of the fairing, air flow is directed down and away
from the motorcycle. This makes for a more comfortable riding
experience at any speed and can even improve the performance of a
bike thanks to the lesser wind resistance.
Once you have chosen the batwing fairing that works with your
motorcycle, there are a few other steps you'll need to complete
before you can install it onto your ride. Each piece is sold
separately so you can put together a custom package that is exactly
what you are looking for, so the price quoted above is for the
fairing only.
Step 2 - The No-Tool Trigger-Lock Mount Kit
[mageProductLink sku="mem2321-0044" title=""]
[/mageProductLink]The Memphis Shades
Batwing Fairing does not come with mounting hardware, so you'll
have to buy that separately. Fortunately Memphis Shades makes a
unique [mageProductLink sku="mem2321-0044" title="Memphis Shades
No-Tool Trigger-Lock Mount Kit"]Trigger-Lock mounting
kit[/mageProductLink], which allows owners to quickly and easily
remove or install the fairing. A pair of glass filled nylon latches
anchor onto polymer bushings and lock the fairing down, that is
until the spring loaded "trigger locks" are intentionally
disengaged for a no-hassle removal. Both the fairing itself and the
mounting kit are made specific to the model of your bike, so you
can be sure it will fit without problems.
As an added bonus for customization, once
you install the mounting kit on your cruiser, you can easily
replace your batwing fairing with any Memphis Shades Fats/Slims
windshield or Sportshield without the use of tools. If you already
have one of those windshields installed it is even easier to
install the batwing fairing, all you need is the corresponding
[mageProductLink sku="mem2320-0039" title="Memphis Shades No-Tool
Trigger-Lock Plate Kit"]mounting plate kit[/mageProductLink] for
your bike. The plate kit contains only the parts of the mounting
kit that attach to the fairing, allowing you to use the mounting
hardware you already have attached to your street bike.
Step 3 - The Fairing Windshield
[mageProductLink sku="mem2310-0215" title=""]
[/mageProductLink]Your new batwing fairing
wouldn't look right without a windshield sitting atop. To better
fit the windshield to your specific bike, there are
[mageProductLink sku="mem2310-0215" title="Memphis Shades Batwing
Fairing 5" Windshields"]fairing windshields[/mageProductLink]
available in four different sizes. You can even choose from seven
translucent colors, as well as a clear and solar tinted options, to
match your motorcycle or fit a certain custom style you're aiming
for. In addition to black, there is ruby red, burnt orange, yellow,
blue, teal, and purple. With so many shades to choose from, you can
find a piece that works seamlessly with your machine and adds to
the personalized appearance you desire.
[mageProductLink sku="mem2350-0135" title=""]
[/mageProductLink]For those looking for a
distinctive look that is as functional as it is stylish, Memphis
Shades offers a [mageProductLink sku="mem2350-0135" title="Memphis
Shades Batwing Fairing 6.5" Spoiler Windshields"]fairing spoiler
windshield[/mageProductLink] in a medium bronze smoke tint that is
designed to be looked over. The spoiler windshield diffuses the air
stream, effectively slowing the flow without buffeting, so you have
a smoother ride with even less wind turbulence.
All of these windshield options are made from Lucite acrylic with
superior optics and construction. Designed to fit any of the bike
specific Memphis Shades Batwing Fairings available, these fairing
windshields finish off that custom look.
Step 4 - The Accessories
[mageProductLink sku="mem2350-0111" title=""]
[/mageProductLink]While all that is
required to use these fairings are Steps 1-3 (the fairing, mounting
kit, and windshield), why stop there? After all, you're going for a
unique custom look, so lets look at some of the motorcycle
accessories available to spruce up your new batwing fairing.
One option you'll want to consider are [mageProductLink

plugs, increasing the ease of attaching the deflectors to the
fairing. You can even choose to invest in the windshield tri-pouch,
which offers extra storage for the necessities, as well as several

About Memphis Shades
Memphis Shades has
been providing top-notch motorcycle
windshields for many decades. The company supplies a wide
variety of windshields in different styles and colors, and it is so
confident in its products that it adds a manufacturer's limited
two-year warranty to each purchase.
The brand has plenty of offerings, but sometimes it can be hard to
narrow down the selection - and find a dealer that carries them
item you want. Luckily, the Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing, along
with several other similar products, is available at select
retailers.
No matter what you decide on, you are going to need to make sure
the item works with the make and model of your motorcycle. Although
Memphis Shades makes products that can be applied to a wide range
of bikes, taking a bit of extra time to double-check the match is a
smart move. Additionally, you should see if your model requires
specific hardware to install the windshields. For example, a few
select machines need OEM docking hardware or will require turn
signal relocation. While this can be easily done, it may
necessitate some extra time and another purchase.
