That's going to look killer! If you went with the Memphis Shades, I'll say that it will probably even look better with a black paint job. I ran mine unpainted for awhile and it was showing a bunch of marks and just looked a little stale. Even the blacked painted sections look amazing with the paint and clear coat now.

I was just gunna spray paint it flat black then put a nice Clear coat on it, I’ve become very good with spray paint jobs so I’m confident I can get it to look good. BTW where are you located? I’m in York, PA would love to meet up for a ride or something
@withPercy4 жыл бұрын
I think they advertise it as being "ready for painting". Several people told me there was no need to paint it but I do believe it makes a big difference. You should be good with a good spray and clear coat job. I'm over in the Springfield, VA area. But we ride all over the place in VA/MD/WV. Went to York not too long ago and I'm jonesing to head back that way again when the weather turns. Hit me up on Facebook or Instagram and I'll shoot you a note when we're planning to head your way. Would be great to meet up. I am @bhnwp on both of those platforms.

Great video, thank you. I have one comparision question... Today, I have installed the original HD 15" detachable windshield on my 2022 Fat Bob.... I made a quick 150km run on the highway and I HATED it! There occured a terrible vibration on the handlebars and a strong buffeting on the top of my helmet.. It was a very uncomfortable ride, even when compared to "no windshield" at all..... I think installing only a windshield to a naked bike, without any fairing etc. disrupts the riding aerodynamics in a very bad way.. So... my question is.... Do you have the same "vibration" feeling with this fairing, if you compare it to its original "no fairing" status? Your comment will be highly appreciated.... Thank you.

Hi David. I am 5’9”. At this point, I am running the 11” shield for normal riding and the 17” for touring without any problems. I use the Speed Merchant by Saddlemen seat for non-touring, and the Mustang Wide Tripper for touring. Both of those seats drop you further down into the bike and further back. Hope that helps.

Hey Warren - I am 5'9" and the shield on my Memphis Shades is 11". I believe that I could see over the 15" shield myself, but that might be as high as I could go for me. What you could do is go the dealer and have them show you where the HD 19" detachable windscreen would be for you on a Fat Bob. I think that would pretty closely approximate where the 15" shield would be on the Memphis Shades.
