Title: Bat Wing Fairing
Post by michael1962 on 08/12/16 at 13:19:11

:D Hello! I am a new member so I hope I am posting this in the right location. First, thanks for all the information posted on this site. I am preparing to do some mods to my 2015 S40 and the information posted here has been a massive help. I am looking for a "bat wing " type fairing that will allow for the installation of a stereo and speakers. I have spent hours on the internet searching but can't seen to locate what I need. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't suggest a batwing fairing on the Savage. I had a Memphis Shades batwing fairing on mine for a short time and it was nothing but a big sail that slowed the bike down in headwinds.

A fairing with both an inner and outer shell with stereo will add a lot of weight to the front of the bike. The Memphis Shades is just the outer shell.

Here is a picture of my bike with the fairing on.

Thank you for the reply. I dint think about the wind or weight issue. I think I'll leave it be. Thanks.

Glad that I could help save you some money and headaches. I ended up putting a Memphis Shades Slim windshield on and love it.

Stereo also is a fairly big amperage draw...

A friend had a tank bag stereo... worked like cr@p... you could only hear it while stopped...
Earbuds are probably most efficient,... but, drowning out the engine noise will send you deaf...

Listen to the engine Puuururrrrrr.... :)

...and no texting, dangit'!... darn technology... ;D

I recently started wearing the in-ear earbuds with my full-face. I think it is a fair compromise between covering up some engine noise/hearing protection and getting some riding music. I turn it up just enough to be able to hear the tunes but not so loud that I can't hear traffic or a horn honk, etc.

Don't completely close the audible world out...it can be detrimental if someone is doing the right thing trying to signal you with their horn....or you hear screeching tires in just enough time to react and avoid someone about to hit you.
