New guy with a fairing question

[ChopperBill]

In AZ, purchased a new 22 Free Wheeler I’ll pick up when we’re home in CO. Going to purchase a fairing, more than likely a Memphis Shade. I can’t find any pictures of the back side of them, hopefully they will be plain and simple, no radio for me. Anyone have some pics of the back side and mounting? I’m tall so I’m wondering if the 9” recurve windshield would be best for me? Want so see over it, but want all the protection I can get. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Love my Memphis Shades Batwing fairing. I'm 6' and with the fairing adjusted almost all the way forward (so it's got about 3/4" clearance around the headlight") I found the 7" Solar windshield was a perfect fit for me. I can just see over the top but the airflow keeps 90%+ winds and rain off me and my cell phone that is mounted on a Ciro handlebar mount. The only place I get wet in the rain (when moving of course) is my ankles. There are no provisions to mount radios or anything else on the back of the fairing. The 5" black windshield looks cool, but is no where near as efficient in keeping wind and elements off me. The 9" solar was way too tall and I could only look through it, which I found really annoying. I didn't find Memphis Shades to be chatty when I was looking for information. As a matter of fact they never responded to me at all and that made me hesitant to order anything, but I'm glad I pulled the trigger anyway.

This is the 5" black windshield



This is the 7" I've been using.



And the 9" I sold.



Here's a shot of the back.

Thanks JT! Just what I was looking for. MS for sure could improve the pics on their web site.

The best fairing is always no fairing.

As long as you brought this back up, I bought a Vector fairing.
