Effective but Flimsy
I bought this fairing near the end of the the 2014 riding season.
Pros + Does good job of blocking wind around hands
Totally changes the look of the bike
After trigger mounting kit is installed the fairing is extremely easy to take on and off
Addition of windshields can make the fairing a total wind blocker. I have a 5" screen that does nothing for wind but looks awesome. I have a 12" screen that doesn't look as awesome but blocks the wind and I don't get any buffeting which is very hard for me to find at 6'5".
Cons - Feels very flimsy - the fairing bends and twists and shudders down the highway at 100kph as well as if it's somewhat windy. After a full season I still worry the fairing is going to snap and lop my head off. It also creates a little bit of a chatter or tapping when it starts shaking at highway speed.
Extremely easy to take off after trigger mounting kit is installed. If someone wanted to steal this it would take about 10 seconds.
Overall it feels a little flimsy which can be disconcerting at times yet it's a relatively inexpensive way to massively change the look of your bike as well as provide some good wind protection.

Great fit
The Faring fits and looks great. It's a bit tricky to line up but once it's on it's very easy to take on and off with the quick release system. It deflects the wind perfectly and makes long road trips more enjoyable.

Good and not so good.
Had this for a few seasons now, so I've found a couple weak spots, but they're easy to fix. First, the nuts and bolts that hold the windshield in place are made of different material- the acorn nut is plastic and the bolt is metal. This is likely to prevent you from over tightening and cracking the windshield, but I think this could be prevented by including a nylon washer. Or maybe nobody makes an acorn nut with a sleeve like the plastic one that this comes with. Regardless, this brings us to the first problem. Because of the constant flexing that is placed on the windshield when transitioning from lower speeds to higher, especially when using freeways/highways and regular streets, these are prone to loosening. Because of the plastic nut, you can't use thread lock or lock tite. That means that you will likely lose one or more of these fasteners, usually at an inopportune time, like when you're riding!! How often does this happen? Call Memphis Shades customer service, and without any questions, they'll ship you a whole new set. Sounds fairly common. At least they did when I lost my first couple back in 2016. Potentially a major problem, but an easy fix. Maybe ask for replacements before you need 'em? After trying things like Teflon tape and plumbers putty, I finally got desperate and settled on an infinitesimally small amount of white glue. Who knows, maybe I'll have to replace the whole fairing when I need a new windshield.
The next problem also comes from not being able to truly tighten the windshield. Once the tolerances start to loosen, you will notice that the windshield will start to squeak at lower speeds. Very annoying! This could've probably been avoided with a nylon washer as well. I was contemplating what to do about this and it got pretty convoluted and high-tech. But then I thought of something so low-tech, and yet ultimately very effective and cheap like borscht. Do you remember taking paper towel or toilet paper in school, wetting it then throwing it at the ceiling? Some of you remember. I don't cuz I never did. Other kids did, but not me. (straight face, blink-blink) Once that congealed mass dried, it was almost impossible to remove without a scrapper and some elbow grease. I soaked some toilet paper and rolled it into a "stick"(?) about as thick as my finger. This I crammed between the windshield and fairing until it couldn't be any tighter, and can only be seen if you're laying on the ground looking up at your bike. If you are in this position, then I doubt that unsightly modifications are your biggest concern at that moment. Not an ideal remedy at all, but in a pinch, it'll work until you can find the time and funding for something more to your liking.
All in all, this is a very nice addition to my ride and as always, Fortnine was great to work with- good price and fast delivery.

Great look
Adds a whole new look to my Dyna FLD. I wouldn't say it was easy to install because I didn't use their mounting brackets or turn signal relocation kit. If you know how to drill a couple holes and cut a metal bracket you can use the existing windshield brackets to mount the fairing and the billet turn signals can be attached to the bottom bolt of the mounting brackets. The lights took some time to get the mounts in the right position but it can be done. Don't forget the lock tite. one thing to not is that the description says it comes with the turn signal relocation kit but it doesn't, at least mine didn't

Batwing style fairing functions and looks great.
I was always reluctant to add wind protection on my HD Fatboy as I didn’t want to spoil the look of the bike, this fairing was the solution, looks great and functions very well. It’s also quick release and removed easily if needed.

Nice addition
Really impressed with this product except the fit around the headlight is excessive
I am debating removing the mount bolts and lowering the assembly for a better fit around the light

Does this fairing have an inner fairing to mount stereo
Yes, you can mount a stereo. We sell the speaker kit under Item # : 161194
Date published: 2018-12-21
Can you mount speakers in the batwing or do you have to mount speakers on the handle bar?
There's a company called Hog Tunes that make speakers that mount to the fairing. It comes with two 40 watt speakers, a fifty watt amplifier, handlebar mounted docking port with volume controls for an iPod or phone and a cable to charge your phone. I think everything costs around $450.

Does this come with mount plates? Is the trigger lock necessary for mounting? I have a 2002 Vulcan Nomad 1500FI with stock windshield.
No it does not. This is just the fairing. This item requires a trigger-Lock mount kit specific to bike model - item #140013 you would then need to order one of the Batwing specific windshields - item #139604 or item #139811
