I like mine too. Mine is a reckless with 6x9 polk MMs and sony digital media player. I still need lowers, too much wind coming up under. Also, I dropped 6mpg when I put it on. I was getting 42mpg before fairing, now get 36mpg. I ride pretty hard @ 75mph most of the time. Had mine for about 1.5yrs.

I swear no 2 roadies are built alike. My gas mileage appears to be going up with my Reckless. Go figure.

On a second note, doc_v, did you ever see that post I put up a while back with the ms and reckless side by side?

Actually no, I'd forgotten about that. I'll have to look that thread up. Thanks for posting them.

Re:I just gotta say this about the Batwing! 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
I saw Rev's thread about his bracket and asked him to make me one so I could add just the outer fairing. I ordered my fairing and it got here before the bracket and I took Rev's pictures and just made my own bracket, not very patient some times......... Man, I love this thing. I made a set of lowers to it and a 8" Cee Devil windshield and it's just so nice to ride with. I liked my stock windshield but this setup has it beat!!

Love my fairing, thats what I've been telling both my sons, I have owned a MS 2 years now and I wouldn't be without it.

My Roadie is silver and I like the black fairing and Harley trunk breaking up the monotony of chrome and silver together. Of course it just personal druthers as for as paint goes.

I talked with a guy with one on a Harley, he said, "Wouldn't be without it." so I had one a week later and I've had them ever since and he was right, "Wouldn't be without it."
