[QUOTE="westgl, post: 116460, member: 2025"] I am still trying to decide if i like the Batwing on it or Not. The batwing would provide some storage, also thought a single seat and the small silverwing trunk, behind the single seat. I may stay with the tandem seat. Batwing is about 1.5" + too high right now in the picture and would be lowered, as the gauges would be mounted in the two speaker holes. You can see by the picture, that the batwing is too high in relation to the headlight height. Either that or my headlight needs a longer bracket, so that the headlight is raised to match the Batwing. The height to hand grips looks like it may be about right. This would leave me a nice sized storage section for storing stuff in there. I also thought about putting mirrors in the wing tips, and also LED driving lights & turn signal in the wingtips I would put a adjustable height windshield on the bat wing, with shield Tilt. I dont need a radio, I have a Sony walkman that has at least 20 full cds of music and comfortable earbuds, I put those in before i put on my helmet, and have great sound for more riding than i do, or i can use my smart phone. Here is a pic [GALLERY=media, 22834][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 22825][/GALLERY] a picture of the Batwing on my 86' you can see the speaker holes they are 6x9 size, and the center section. I was thinking both gauges speedo & tach in left speaker hole, and center idiot light cluster mounted on the top section of tank above the gas cap. That would leave me the right speaker hole and center section for storage, the fairing speaker hole and center holes are deep. [/QUOTE]
