    Default faring

    I also love the wind reduction the faring makes, got mine from Woody's Farings. DK Products makes a tank lift kit and cooling deflector wings, the lift kit raises the front of the tank an inch or so which stops the wind coming over the top of the tank. The cooling deflectors directs the wind from your body and puts it down on the motor where it should be. Easy install and the result is a cooler motor and at interstate speeds, 70 to 80 mph, just a breeze hitting my chest and face. Just a slight shirt flutter, perfect.

    Memphis Shades fairing showed up this afternoon. Got it mounted and went for a test ride. Very sweet! Just a slight breeze on the midsection and the only buffeting is very light at my glasses around 65 mph. A ton better than the blast of wind at that speed prior. Going to run down to DE tomorrow and give it good test. That'll cover highways, back roads, city and rural roads for a couple hours. Liking this a lot so far.

    That looks great, you would think The MOCO would offer Freewheeler owners an option like that

    So I took the run down to DE from New Jersey for lunch today. Other than walking the trike across the Delaware Memorial Bridge in 90+ degree weather due to construction it was a great ride and the Freewheeler handled everything without a hiccup. Only about a 100 mile round trip, but it was enough to thoroughly test the Memphis Shades fairing. I think I'm going to order the 7" windshield and try to reduce the wind buffeting some more at high speed. I have wrap around prescription tinted riding glasses I use for trips that I love, but when I hit about 65 mph they get to vibrating a bit and it can be annoying, but anything 60 and under was great. Planning another long lunch ride for tomorrow.

    I’m 6’1” and have the Reckless fairing and went to the 9” inch windscreen for the same reason.

    There is virtually no wind on my face but a nice air on my arms and shoulders that keeps me cool in the heat.

    Now I'm getting annoyed. I wanted to order the Memphis Shades 7" windshield to try on the Batwing Fairing I just got from them and all they have is clear. I don't want clear. I wanted black translucent like I've got with the 5" that's on there. I would have accepted the gradient black translucent, but they stopped making that. Girl on the phone told me I get clear or nothing and they have no plans to make anything else. I chose nothing. From a businessman's standpoint I don't see this as the best in customer relations.

    Your probably right, but I would never dismiss my customers that way and I've been a gunsmith/dealer in NJ for 40 years.

    You could of received a phone call or E Mail on the situation . But today’s business practice just doesn’t work that way anymore. I thought that only our government gives phone numbers and E Mail addresses and never answers.

    Despite my previously mentioned reservations, I went back to Memphis Shades website and looked at the 7" windshield again. This time they had it listed in "Solar" along with "Clear". I went ahead and ordered the "Solar" 7" windshield. Came in yesterday. Not sure what "Solar" is, but this looks clear to me. I made the swap and had just enough time to put a couple of miles on at high speed before some tornado was supposed to hit. Needless to say it was a might breezy. I was running down the back end of our local race track watching some debris blow across the road a few hundred yards up and glanced down at the speedo and realized I was doing over 70 and hadn't noticed it. Had to beat feet back home though, it was getting pretty threatening, but I think this new windshield might make the difference I was looking for. If the trike wasn't at the dealers for 1000 mile service, finally, I'd be doing some more testing.

    In AZ, purchased a new 22 Free Wheeler I’ll pick up when we’re home in CO. Going to purchase a fairing, more than likely a Memphis Shade. I can’t find any pictures of the back side of them, hopefully they will be plain and simple, no radio for me. Anyone have some pics of the back side and mounting? I’m tall so I’m wondering if the 9” recurve windshield would be best for me? Want so see over it, but want all the protection I can get. Thanks in advance for the replies.

    I also run a faring, but added DK tank lift and DK wind deflectors. That stopped the wind from coming under the fairing and over the top of the tank. It puts the wind under the tank and on the motor where it belongs. I had the fork fangs on a street glide and the DK setup worked as well if not better, but the fangs didn't put the wind on the motor like the DK setup. At interstate speeds 70 to 80 mph I feel just a slight breeze. Perfect. As far as windshield height, looking over it is fine 'till you get caught in rain. The rain runs up the fairing, up the windshield and straight into your face. I run a taller windshield that I look thru so this doesn't happen.
