Love the look of the MS Batwing and I am just curious if it is possible to have a quick connect type setup to allow for quick/easy change between the OEM Honda Tourer windshield and the Batwing?

I don't know about the tourer windshield and the Memphis, I have the Memphis shades windscreen and the Memphis Shades bat wing, and I can switch back and forth after I get them set just right.

I really don't see a need to take the bat wing off, I like the looks, the comfort, and the protection I get from it. I guess if I wanted a change, in about 5 seconds I could have it off and riding without if I wanted.

I was thinking when it came to long range touring that I might prefer the big OEM windshield, hence my question about being able to swap between the two.  I guess it doesn't need to be a true "quick connect", as long as the swap could be done in a reasonable amount of time.

Can any MS Batwing owners confirm that the product will work with my additional highway lights (http://gallery.me.com/hansen.thomas#100061/IMG_2412)?



Thanks!

My plan was to get an MS windshield like Jim so you can switch back and forth but I haven't bought the windshild yet. MS has some quick change "Trigger Lock" hardware that works with their stuff but probably not the stock Valk windsheild. Below is my 97 with MS Batwing and National Cycle lights.

Canadianviking,
It looks like you have the same light bar that i do, I took the factory turn signals off mine and put LED's in their place. It will work just fine with that set up.
 
I also have the headlight relocation bracket from Darryl @        http://www.xf6-custom.com/   it brings the headlight foreword about 2 inches or more.
