Memphis Fairing and Apes 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
I'm interested in getting this Memphis Fairing on Ebay. Looking at my bike and the apes it has, do you think there will be any problems mounting the fairing? Is anyone familiar with the dimensions of the fairing and how it would work with the apes? I plan on getting the fairing color matched to the rest of the bike.

IMHO, I think it's too low and would look silly with apes. It attaches the same no matter what the height of the bars are. I know there are some on here that have apes and a fairing, and I guess if it's done right, it would look OK. Just my $.02
