Title: Memphis Shades Fairing Post by: Blueknight on June 02, 2009, 07:13:48 AM I love the fairing but the windshield is too short at 10". 10" is the tallest the company offers for the fairing. I was going to modify a Harley aftermarket but passed until I did more research. I called Memphis Shades but they said they MAY make a taller one at some later date.
I found a solution at http://www.customflhtwindshields.net (http://www.customflhtwindshields.net) . The owner is Pat. He has been making aftermarket windshields for Harleys for sometime. . Pat bought a Memphis Shades fairing for his wife's bike so he has the pattern. He knows that many of us would like a taller/wider windshield. He is starting to make them for the Memphis Shades fairing. I'm ordering a 14" from him today. Sounds like he can make them taller. His prices are very reasonable. I hope this helps some of you looking for a taller touring fairing.

I know the hole pattern for the Memphis Shades fairing is different than the Harley fairing hole pattern. You could drill new holes in a Harley style windshield. The owner of the link I posted, Pat, drills the pattern for the Memphis Shades fairing Title: Re: Memphis Shades Fairing Post by: dreamaker on June 03, 2009, 07:37:41 AM I don't know if this would help. The bottom of the shield is flat and from tip to tip is about 23 3/8". The shield has five holes about 1/4". From the center hole to the second hole is 5 1/4" and from the second hole from the center to the end hole is 5 3/8" . Now from tip to tip to the highest distance of the arc is 4" .
This is a TrikeShop shield I have. Dan |
