Batwing add on bags 3 Years, 9 Months ago  
Does anyone have any experience with the Memphis Shades Batwing fairing accessory bags? I am looking at the bags and the two choices we have are the Big Zipper bag and the Tri-pouch bag. It appears that the Big Zipper bag sits way higher on the fairing obscuring a big piece of the wind screen. The tri bag appears to sit lower but does not have the clean looks of the Big Zipper. I cannot tell because all I have to go on is the pictures from the Memphis Shades website because I have yet to see anyone with either on their bikes. Any help out there?

A friend of mine who has a roadliner has the big zipper pouch on his Memphis shades batwing and he loves it. I also have a harley windshield for a street glide that he fit on his Memphis shades batwing so maybe that's not your only 2 options.

I have the tri bag, it doesn't really obscure your view, but I don't look through the 5 inch windshield anyway.

Did you mean a HD windshield for a street glide or a windshield bag from a street glide? I was wondering if anyone had taken an HD bag and adapted it to the Memphis Shades Batwing by cutting off the bottom piece and bolting it to the MS Batwing??????
