As for the line of sight. I think it's perfect. For me it is right on the line of ground and air. I'll say keep it like this.

I had an experience with Memphis Shades where I had an issue with one of their products. They resolved the problem and I must say I consider them to be a rock solid company that backs up 100% whatever they sell.

Wind protection- life changing. Rock the windshield height that works for you, not your viewers. I didn’t have any problem watching the camera through the shield. Quite honestly, I appreciated the undistorted clear view. For myself, I don’t think my shoulder would like me very much if I didn’t have wind protection. I rode in pain for a lot of miles without a fairing. Now the ride is much more enjoyable!

I’ve noticed a lot more wind coming up from underneath as well but overall, I am really happy with my road warrior fairing as well. Makes a huge difference at highway speeds. Great video Block! 👍🇺🇸

Awsome video man 👍 I get the same thing with my elpaso Memphis shades where the wind feels like it's coming from low at about 60 to 70 mph im looking into getting some lowers for the bike witch is a Yamaha xv950 (bolt) hoping that will stop it , screen looks good on the lowrider man and video angle is good 👍👍

Yeah, the wind from the tank, I've heard a lot of people describe that too. you know if you want to keep going you can put lower fairings on it, I'm memphis shades would hook you up with the lower fairings too 😉 curious to see how it goes cuz I have a lot of tank wind with my windshield as well, But having a hard time with fitting lowers because I relocated my turn signals to my trouble tree 🤷‍♂️

I had the heritage and the windshield did the same thing. My beard would beat the crap out of my sunglasses. I bought a roadglide ultra and no longer have that problem.

@odysseyrider 4 жыл бұрын

The fairing creates a bubble of air that circulates behind it and causes helmet buffeting. I bought the windsplitter screen from Harley, which has a vent to eliminate it. In 2015, Harley started putting vents in all their fairings, to combat the issue.

The wind comes up your legs and up your chest. That's why we put fairing lowers on the fork legs. And yes you need to look over your windshield, the first time it rains you will understand.

I ride from Winter Garden to Waterford Lakes daily via I-4 to avoid tolls and bad gas mileage in my modded Jeep. This seems like what I need for my Low Rider.

@BlockheadMoto 4 жыл бұрын

Winter Garden to Waterford via I-4? How, I-4 isn’t close to either of those, it’d be smarter to just ride 50 the whole way if you’re avoiding tolls. But 408 would get you there in a fraction of the time, I’d guess at least 70% faster than light to light on 50. But yeah, the fairing helps a ton with commuting for sure. It’s a game changer!

Hey block! I’m looking at getting one for my iron 883, i know they dont officially make one for sportsters but i do put miles on my sporty (not ideal for a small tank i know) and at higher speeds so it’d be nice to get that wind blocked out do you think it’ll be effective on a sportster? Also any other essential mods to do on a stock iron 883? Thanks in advance! 🤙🏻

@samuelburgio9332 4 жыл бұрын

Hey, just got my '19 883 and just put on the Memphis shades Cafe Fairing. I love it, I'm sure there are others out there that can help more but the style this one has and it also blocks some wind is great. I also suggest to get Python Slipons, they are loud and sound beautiful. I also am replacing my lights too, just got a new headlight and soon to get the indicator and brakes done. Hope some of this helped or gave you some ideas. Also look up Miles Miller on youtube to see some of the parts I suggested.

Shade looks fine with the camera. When I got my first windshield there was an adjustment period. Before long you won't even notice. About the wind coming up from the bottom, you'll find this funny... First few days or so I kept thinking something was wrong with my bike because I hear and different type of noise on my bike, but only when I accelerated for the most part. Finally discovered since the wind was moving upwards, it was carrying the noise of my gremlin bell to my ears! Felt silly when I found that out!

Careful you don't strip and snap the cheap cast aluminum brackets and bolts. Mine broke after 6 months of regular use, rendering it useless. 2 of the 4 trigger mount brackets stripped out real fast, one snapped. Contacted Memphis Shades customer support 5 times for replacement parts but never received anything. Now I'm looking for something of better quality bc $400 is too much money for such poor quality hardware. The fairing itself is fine. The mounting hardware sucks.
