Wide open custom fairing

[dukesguy]

Has anyone seen or have a wide open customs ABS fairing? I'm thinking of getting that or a Woody's fairing. Do they both need a relocation kit, or just the Woody's? Thanks.

I've seen both...  Actually was one of the 'test' bikes for the WOC brand... 

I currently have an original Hoppe (made for the Valk) fairing, but have seen many of the Woody fairings installed (helped with a few).

IMO, the Woody is a far superior fairing...  Compaired to the early version of the WOC (the only version I'm familiar with), there is no compairison...  Fit, finish, ease of install...  Not trying to bash WOC, just stating my first hand observations...

Besides, Glen is a supporting vendor of the VRCC, and a member    Good folk to deal with.

I have a Wide Open Customs fairing and I'm very happy with it. Mounts to Memphis Shades brackets. It’s light weight and you can use windshields made for HDs as well as Freedom Air Wings air deflectors.  The radio and speakers are very good (I got the Sony marine radio and speakers upgrade).   I used a headlight bracket from here; http://www.xf6-custom.com/partpages/headex.html (a board sponser) to push the headlight forward about 2”. Looks better that way to me.  It does take a good painter to fill, sand, and paint the material it’s made out of to get the dimples out for a good finish. Especially in fast black  . No issues with it in 2 years. I’d check out a Woody’s too since he is board sponsor. Lots of posts here on the Memphis Shades and converting an HD batwing too.

It seems that the Memphis Shades Batwing fairing isn't real popular here among the membership. Something to do with fitment issues, yet, I installed a batwing with their tallest windshield in a matter of an hour and didn't have to relocate anything, or experience any interference with the headlight. After 6 months riding behind this fairing, I've got nothing but good to report.
