#404104 jefe74 (User) Hi, my name is Jefe, and I'm a R*aholic.... Expert Boarder Posts: 478 Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   So, I've had my R* for a month now, and I'm kicking myself for waiting this long. I've been on the forum for a little while now, and finally have a question for all of the Batwing (or similar) owners out there. What handlebars are you using after adding the fairing to your bike? From what I've read, it sounds like I can put 10" apes on my bike without having to change out all the cables. This forum is a great source of knowledge for a new R* owner, really glad I found it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #404123 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   from mich. you should intorduce yourself so you dont get banned, we have a rash of spaming here so its easy to get the spamers out that way. anyhow i have a fairing and i am running the stock bars with no problem at all. and yes 10" mini apes is as big as you can go without cable/wire/brake line work   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #404124 Blackroadie (Moderator) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !

Expert Boarder Posts: 478 Re:Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   Thanks for the input and welcomes guys. @smokescreens - What bags are you running? I've been looking at adding some hard bags as well.

Expert Boarder Posts: 478 Re:Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   I actually have this speaker / amp setup on my bike already, so I don't need a fairing with the radio in it. This is actually what pointed me in the direction of the Batwing. What issues have you had with the Mutazu trunk? Mutazu is located about 45 minutes away from my house, so I was planning on taking a ride up there so I could look at their product before purchasing.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #404159 deadlion (User) Go Duke! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1758 Re:Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   I'm using a WOC (Wide Open Customs) fairing. See the link below in my sig pic of other Yamaha's with a WOC. It's a one piece unit that runs a radio and 4 5.25 inch speakers.   Logged     build woc woc|klock werks flare|top shop bags|thomason wheels|alpine amp|bad dad| big boar air|forcewinder|todds bars|ifr license frame   The administrator has disabled public write access. #404161 ultrastar (Moderator) We Call Her Big Red (Secretariat) 110 Big Bore Moderator Posts: 9536 Re:Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   First off from Hollister CA, now is this what your looking to do   Logged     My Rides   The administrator has disabled public write access. #404164 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Thinking of getting a batwing 6 Years, 7 Months ago   The trunk is super thin when I hit bumps the whole dang thing looks like the trunk of a car with a ghetto blaster in the trunk (shaking and flexing) im gunna add some fiberg lass to the inside to stiffen the walls up some.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
