Memphis Shades Batwing Mounted & Ready to Ride 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Well, I finally got the fairing all mounted up. Here are a few shots when I took her out for a short shake down cruise. I'll get some better shots of the mounts tomorrow, when I take it off to wash everything up. BTW, it is supposed to be high 70s tomorrow, and this boy is going for a ride!!!

(The fuel injector replacement in the jeep is just going to have to wait!!).

Very clean set up . I was going to ask how it was compaired to the stock windshield but I see that is irrelevant.
How much time would you say it took to get it mounted the way you wanted?

The top of the 5" shield sits 14" from the top of the steering shaft nut. Quite a bit lower than the stock windshield. I only took it a couple of miles and never got a chance to go above about 45MPH, but it did keep the wind off my hands and chest.

It took me most of a day to putt around and make the mounts. It might have gone faster if I had a bench grinder and weren't so picky about everything being perfectly symmetrical. It would have gone faster If I had someone to hold it in place while I fitted, ground, bent and fitted again. Believe me, If I can do it, most anyone can.
