just got a MS Batwing from a fellow member and bought new brackets.
I really just need to see a pic of the bracket on the fairing and the location of the clamps on the forks.
Any tips you can offer to help make the job go smoothly will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

I am not sure on the batwing but I had the MS windshield and had to relocate the blinker housings down from stock position, just put the clamps on loosely and mount it then adjust as needed.

I put this batwing on one of my Valks. It is a HD batwing I got on ebay, had to shave the opening for the large Valk headlight. I used Memphis Shades mounts, and had to tweek them to fit. It was not to involved and went on real nice.

 I got it loosely installed but the fairing hits my motowings on the left side with a 90 percent turn.  I will see what I need to do to get more clearance. 
I am going to try to drill and bolt the light bar bracket  to the memphis shades mounting bracket.  I know i won't be able to remove the batwing with the light bar attached but I don't plan on removing the fairing. 
  Thanks to Dragonslayer for selling me the Batwing,  Money is on the way.    It fits but I had to use the bracket you sent.  The Memphis Shades mounting kit #2321-0068 has shorter brackets and hit the mileage counter dial on my speedo.   
 
Thanks again,
  Tony

Do you recall the part number for the mounts you used?
