Seat height and Windshield thoughts

[Foodog2]

Does the mustang seat sit the same height as stock? I need to figure if a new seat will raise or lower me. I tried a 20” HD windshield and it’s too tall. Looks like i need to buy the 16” and get a clearview at the right measurement. Do any of the other screen makers like clearview fit the Memphis fats frame? And anyone get what they like then change seats and have to adjust?

The mustang seat raises you so that with the 20-inch windshield, you will be looking over it.

on the Sundowner Seat I added a 16" harley windshield for the Freewheeler. It works great! Their may still be a very minor amount of buffetting at the top of the helmet going 80mph but all of the chest wind is gone.

I got the mustang seat and the 16” is working so far. Headed 1600 miles to sturgis next week so I will know for sure.

Something else to think about. Alot of companies are offering windshields with a gentle recurve at the top. It really makes a big difference. You can run a shorter windshield and get protection as good or better the a flat windshield

I just tested that with my Memphis Shades batwing fairing and windshield. Got caught in the rain with the 7" flat windshield on a recent trip and again a couple days ago with the 5" recurve windshield. I couldn't detect any difference. So long as I was moving the only thing that got wet were my ankles with either one. The 5" smoke windshield looks a whole lot better too.

How do you like the Memphis Shades Fairing? Does it have a front and back that comes apart if you wanted to install audio later on?? Thanks, Todd

I didn't have my '21 Freewheeler for a month before I put that on. Love it. There are no provisions on this one to add a stereo. I mounted the HD clock, which I live by when on the rode, and the Thermometer and recently the triple pouch. I wasn't concerned much about the audio, I can't listen to it anyway with my hearing. They're also way less expensive than anything else on the market.

Here is my 2019 with a reckless batwing and a 8.5” klock werks. I’m 6’3” and wind protection seems good. I don’t worry too much about it since I’m on a motorcycle and there’s going to be wind.
