| | Posted : 07 Jun 2013 - 15:55 Post title : Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing for 2012 Thunderbird | | | Hello all, does anyone have experience with installing a Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing on their 2012 Thunderbird? If so, which model listed on the Memphis Shades site (Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha), would be the correct fit for the Tbird? I hear there are other batwing fairing options like Corbin (expensive) and Tsukayu (don't want a radio or radio mount). Am I relegated to picking from either of those two or is their hope using the Memphis Shades option? Thanks!

looks like it gives some hand protection, some wind protection and as crazy as it may sound,
I kind of like the look! What other options are out there?

You will need to also buy the memphis shades fork clamps. The ones that come with the batwing don't fit our forks well. You might need a larger wind screen depending on your height in the saddle to avoid buffeting.

What model number is it ? It is a memphis shades yes? This thread is becoming confusing with the three different makes being mentioned......

| | Posted : 09 Jun 2013 - 06:16 Post title : Re: Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing for 2012 Thunderbird (Re: Phil626) | | | Jango is right on, my fairing is the small Tsukayu made for the Thunderbird with the 5" curvey windshield which I based the height on, being able to just looking over it. Works great for me, I,m now in the search for lower wind deflectors to reduce wind flow coming from around the tank. I also now have a Triumph triangle badge center top of the fairing.
