The Sun is Out! The Sun is Out!!

What a beautiful day! The weather forecast was so promising I unhooked the battery tender and took my scoot for the daily commute. I didn't see a whole lot of bikes out on the freeway, and I was the only bike in our parking lot. I have to admit it was a little chilly this morning. My wind deflector (Can't really call it a windshield. It would have to shield something)/ fairing doesn't offer a lot of protection. Fortunately I have a short ride. It felt pretty good to ride after a couple of weeks of caging. I could feel the knot between my shoulders start to ease. Some of that was because my scoot uses a whole lot less fuel that my truck, but mostly it is great to be back on two wheels.

Cold weather deters a lot of people. Not everyone has a "full on" touring bike with big windshield and massive fairing to ride behind. Memphis Shades is trying to reduce the number of people who need more coverage. They have a new product. You knew I had to get to the pitch sometime huh? Their new detachable fairing is shaped like the traditional H-D batwing and is available with 3 sizes of windscreens. The fairing unit is gloss black and the windscreens are a variety of tints. Easily detachable, and interchangable with Memphis Shades' windshields the fairings offer all the protection of a bat wing. You can see one set up on a Road King Custom in our new bike show room.

There are several other companies that make detachable farings for the Road King. Memphis Shades has gone a little further and offers their Batwing for FL Softails! That is the really exciting part. Now you can have the comfort of a fairing on your Fatboy, Heritage, or Deluxe when you need it, and the clean look of the stock bike when you want it. Stop by and take a look at the Road King Classic in our show room and ask one of our parts professionals how you can get the comfort and convenience of the Memphis shade detachable fairing.

Half the wheels, twice the fun

  1. Last year I rode to Georgia, long story. While there I rode into Killer Creek HD in Roswell Ga. and saw an HD tech. trying to fit an after market fairing on a customers Road King. The three of us, tech, customer, and me, agreed that it would be nice if some one created a Batwing type fairing that fit the bike like the quick disconnect wind shield. I walked into Reno HD this month and saw it. I want one.
