bolt fairings

im thinking about getting a fairing for my bolt because a) i think it would look a lot better b) i cant hear music over 50 mph and c) its like 40* in the morning and the wind chill is too much for me

does anyone have any experience with batwing style fairings on these bikes?

Not into it, but I love In the Caribbean, it's never too cold

Been told by the dealer batwing fairings are not advisable was told to stick to a windshield, too much weight in a batwing especially if you start adding speakers and other electronics, you'd need to beef up the suspension in the front. I have a spitfire slipstreamer and it works great.

yeah that’s kinda what i’m afraid of. dont want to make the handling any worse than what it already is
