A couple of guys in the UK who have fitted Memphis Shades batwings say that they offer great protection but it depends greatly on the height and type of windshield you choose. I am tempted to go for a low windshield as it looks better but I think you get better air flow with a higher one or a spoiler type. I'm not sure how it will compare to a standard fixed fairing but for me it will be a lot cheaper than changing to a SG. It also depends on your height and what seat you have.

I haven't bought the Dragonfly yet, but I have no plans to change my bars - they fit me perfectly fine.  Email the guys at Dragonfly and ask, though.  They responded fairly quickly when I had questions.

grocvo,

Joe at Xtreme Dimensions in New Jersey is a highly recommended painter on this site. He has done a lot of work for guys with CVO's (including me) and matches CVO colors perfectly.

I am still throwing around the idea of the Dragon Fly fairing. I am still hesitant with the price. The other thing is I am running 16" wild 1 bars and really don't like the way tall apes look with the batwing. For me the idea of a batwing is more protection from the wind and with anything over 11" it looks like your hands are back in the wind.

I am currently running the stock windshield. At one point last year Clearview contacted me saying they were coming out with a replacement but so far teh project has been pushed pout and they are not sure when they are doing it.

What are some other ideas for changing up the Road King front end?

I put my fairing on sale on ebay , just opened box never put on bike. Couldn't find someone that can match paint, and it will cost me more than I expected plus radio and amp , speakers.... so it is for sale.
Fairing looks great almost the same like HD one. I payed like $1500 with windshield and chrome trim so it is on sale on ebay for $800.00 , don't need it to sit in garage and collect dust. If you know someone that is looking for it let him know so he got it for half price and I got some money back. Tnx everyone.
Here is info on ebay:

Have not done to much riding yet but it will be a lot better than the wind splitter I'm sure and i don't really like the bigger 21 inch shields so that's why I went this way a lot more expensive but I think it was worth it

evening all,
I'm a new ower of a 2013 SERK also and have been trying to do the research on adding a Fairing also and have seen some good notes regarding the options out there
one, I do not want a Stereo,
two, I'd like to keep the additional lighting and
three, some sort of windsheild would be great since I'm tall, not like the factory set up is keeping me from using some sort of goggle protection,
will keep watching and hope for personal suggestions

I'm going to go for a Memphis Shades one. I too do not want a stereo and they look like they fit around the aux lights ok. A couple of guys over here in the UK have them on Road Kings and they look great. I'll try and find the pics.
