Memphis Shades Batwing Ruins My Harley Davidson Dyna

How does a Harley Davidson Dyna Batwing ruin your motorcycle... well... just look at it! Now, to be fair, this video is NOT a dig at Memphis Shades, the product is actually very well made. I really wanted my Dyna to be able to utilize the Batwing for some long distance rides like the Harley Davidson Touring groups... will it work?

I love the batwing fairings, but I don't understand why so many people use them in conjunction with bar risers that put the bars above the fairing. The shape of the fairing is designs to shield your hands.

I'm 6'2" also and have the tall windshield, it works great, 80mph and the wind just barely hits the top of my helmet when I'm sitting tall, get a little slouch going and it's very nice.

I totally disagree...I have a Batwing on my Dyna FatBob and i love it....Rode to Texas and Back with it from Cali....No problems....My FatBob looks and rides great....A one up tourer

i don't think it looks bad.
When i swapped out my windscreen on my old batwing i had BAD head buffeting.
So, maybe a taller windshield?

[TyFromTennessee]

Dude! That thumbnail is hysterical. Great job on the video sir!!

[Mr.McStache]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I’m old so I love my windshield. Also I don’t do too many short rides. Great video

[glenfinklea]

I have one on my 01 FXDL and like it on the road. What I don't like is the headlight is sunk way back in the hole.

[bobatwater]

I often wondered I have a softail standered. But nothing left standered on it. Can u put any faring u want on anything with right mounting brackets???

[georgerobinson]

I am 6'1" and have the same problem with buffeting and I have solved it. You need to bring the shield up to eye level. Either put a larger shield on it or what I do is I buy these cheap wind deflectors from ebay that attach anywhere to an existing shield and that solves it. I have a bad hip and I even installed them on the side of my windshield to extend horizontally out to keep the wind off of my hip.

I’m 5’9” and hate how bad the wind is on my dyna wide glide. Rode sportbikes forever and never had wind issues. I’m conflicted between the cafe style and batwing.

People go on & on about fairings being good for wind reduction, storage, etc. but we all know their true purpose. Stickers! Thanks for sharing man. I'll stick to eatin' bugs for now!

[omoplata]

you also need to add the headlight extension block and that will help the look/function a ton.

[KennyQuestShow]

Can re-use the mounting hardware on the forks for other Memphis Shade products like the cafe and road warrior fairings or is it a complete tear down and re-installation every time?

[PunisherPrime]

Dude ..I came across this randomly lol I loved your video it was fun man. You're funny good stuff I subscribed just because I like your attitude.

[RustyTheBiker]

Dude I rode a Dyna Wide Glide naked with a half helmet from Ga to the Grand Canyon and back to Ga. They are capable bikes but I will admit once I got my Road Glide I am not going back when it comes to trips. I would love another Dyna for local riding..

[andresrubalcava_]

Great video! Thank you. Are you still using the Batwing? Any updates?

[Dirk-ly]

The higher the screen….the more buffeting! I have a 19” screen at my FBob…terrible! On my RKspecial i had the HD Windsplitter. Thats perfect due to the opening with door in the screen to solve the vacum!!

[BootsandJeansRiders]

I've seen batwings on several bikes...but this isn't a great look for yours. But if functionality is what your after, then go for it. At least the wind isn't beating your chest.

[MyDunnLife]

I bought one of those used for my stepfathers Shadow 750 Aero and he loves it. The windscreen he has does the little flip at the end but he is also not 6ft tall. If I buy a Dyna in the coming months the plan is to get a batwing fairing for it. I want a Dyna Bagger!! Ride Safe Ride Often. For that is the way!

[theoldmanflynchmotovlog]

As a year round rider, and as much as I like the looks of naked bikes, for me a fairing is a necessity, I've tried just running a windshield, but getting caught in cold rain with a fairing is a lot less painful.
