In this video, I give the Memphis Shades Road Warrior a road test on my commute to work. A cold morning, combined with speeds of 60mph + were perfect conditions to test the function of this fairing along with the 15" windshield I selected. Watch and see how the Road Warrior performs!

She looks good and function is definitely there!

DDias86 You said it all, Daniel!

@kidmoto22 4 года назад

That thing looks amazing. Good review and Memphis Shades is awesome no doubt! Thought maybe when you said you needed one more thing it was T-bars!

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

😂I’ll make my own version called D-Bars.

@razzrasmussen5773 4 года назад

Like the windshield. I been looking at 4f and klockworks for my Roadking Special.

@MOTOSARGE 4 года назад

Great review man! Just picked up the fairing and have been on the fence with which size windshield to grab. Think I’ll get the 15” now. 👍

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

MOTOSARGE You will get some updrafts from under the bars/tank but its way better than taking all that to the head. Let me know how you like it!

@slayer04031974 3 года назад

I notice the road warrior doesn't have a rubber gasket shroud on the inside to cover the head light. That could be a reason it doesn't seat the same. I bought the ebay version for my 99' Sportser. I might swap the 7" headlight to 5.75 so I can use my Gauntlet faring on my 21 slim.

@jd9308 4 года назад

That definitely looks good on your bike and it will give you more/longer riding time. Plus if you get caught in a rain shower it will pay off there too! I got me a pair of Carhartt Duck Hunting pants to wear on those chilly mornings, and they help keeping my legs warmer than my jeans. Check them out. They might work for you too.

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

Jd Thanks for the tip! Carhartt makes quality stuff for extreme temps. Ride safe and thanks for watching.

Love that thing!!!

Not as much as the bat wing!😂

@bloodstone74 2 года назад

I know this video is a little old now but do you still ride with this fairing setup? You don't have any issues with helmet buffeting at highway speeds? I've seen so many mixed reviews on this. Thanks for the reviews!

@DCyclemoto 2 года назад

I am still using this fairing to this day. No problems with the head buffeting.

@bcbsilverhawk8426 4 года назад

I like the look for sure. Function is the most important. How wide is the fairing and the windshield? I will be doing multi-state multi-day trips on my Sport glide. Big trip in June will be Colorado to Alabama. Wind management is most important. I'm trying to make a decision between the Memphis Fats Drop Top windshield and the Road Warrior. Thanks for the update and review. Take care.

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

BCB SILVER HAWK I noticed on my commute home where I was fighting more wind riding west that some updrafts were coming from under the bars. Not terrible. It does really well. I can measure the width when I am home later. Take care!

@bcbsilverhawk8426 4 года назад

@@DCyclemoto Thanks for the reply. I need to make a decision here pretty soon. Colorado is getting pretty cold. Need to upgrade over the stock fairing and windshield soon. Take Care.

@JayShermanFJC 4 года назад

You gotta love functionality with looks, it looks great on the Sport Glide. Thanks again to the Five Dirty Bikers podcast for the #GetLowered contest, excited to see everything!! Also thanks to the 5DB & Kat for the shout out on the podcast this week in regards to #MMM2019. Looking forward to #MMM2020.

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

Thank u, Jay! Let us know when you receive the Get Lowered package and send us a pic with your haul so we can share it on social. MMM2020 can’t come soon enough!🤘🏻

@SaddleTrampTV 4 года назад

Bro, do a review after riding south for a while. Wink wink.

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

SaddleTramp yaaaas. That would be a thorough test for sure.

@simonhouel1984 4 года назад

We sure need some more quarter fairing for our 7" front end. A Cafe or a Gauntlet and I'm in ...

@billywebb9614 4 года назад

I like the look of the Road Warrior and was curious about the functionality. I'm 6ft and also ride a 2018 SG. In your riding (with the RW) will the 15 in work for me or do they make one a little taller? Thanks in advance.

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

Just did 3+ hours today. No fatigue and no wind on my head with the 15” shield. Does great! I’m 5’9”.

@marioartesi7683 4 года назад

Thanks DCycle !!!! Got the Road warrior on, just waiting for the 15” black smoke shield! (Australia is the forgotten country), how do you feel about engine guards, moustache Gards !!!!! Keep it sleazy DCYCLE !!!’

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

mario artesi I really want to get an engine guard this year. My chin spoiler, unfortunately, can’t be used with it. Hope the Road Warrior is to your liking!

@marioartesi7683 4 года назад

D-Cycle !! Love the look of it and, being 5’10” I went with your suggestions!!! Can’t wait for the shield to arrive!!! Do you have to remove your Kuryakyn chin ?! What a shame it does look good !!! Can I ask you about those hand guards ?! Do you have a install video and are they Memphis shades as well !!! I am very happy with the fit and finish !!! I have a Rad Guard for the radiator, it’s great for chips and stones but it’s not a flash look for sure !!!! Funckuality is the word !!!

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

mario artesi I do have an install video for those hand guards here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W4GnT8P2FZo.html

@marioartesi7683 4 года назад

Thank you sooo DCycle , my 15” smoke fairing has arrived !!!! Awesome product and cannot thank you enough for your video, informative from the mounting to the test ride !!!!

@roycelabor4339 4 года назад

Great review, as usual Sir! Did you feel much turbulence coming around the tank and up your chest? It looks like there might’ve been, but that could be from something else.

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

Royce Labor There was a slight updraft coming up from under the bars that I noticed way more on my ride home. I was heading into wind on my commute home so I noticed it way more. Still, best fairing I own of the three (stock, Bullet and Road Warrior). I will probably do a full review some time next year.

@roycelabor4339 4 года назад

Super, thanks! That’s the single biggest problem that I have with the stock fairing. I’m working with the folks at Los Angeles Fairing Co to develop a fairing that will fit our Sport Glides. Currently, the biggest challenge is the 7” headlight. Check out their Diablo fairing, it flares out slightly at the bottom of the fairing which pushes the air farther out so you don’t feel the turbulence on your chest.

@eban4372 2 года назад

I know this might sound odd but if you could do you mind telling me what the diameter of the headlight opening is on the road warrior you have. I tried contacting customer service multiple times and got no response. I’m trying to run this on a custom bike build.

What does Memphis have for a 2018 114 CI Breakout ?

@DCyclemoto 2 года назад

I will ask! Stay tuned!

@DCyclemoto 2 года назад

Directly from Memphis Shades: Unfortunately, at this time we only have our line of Handlebar Mount Windshields for the 18+ Breakout. We’ve been so slammed a lot of our projects that were “in the works” got pushed back to the back burner.

@paulhealey8221 4 года назад

Too bad they don’t make a quick release for the whole fairing, when the weather gets nice it would be nice to switch out to just a short windshield or just ride bald face to the wind.

@sunvalleyrider5790 3 года назад

They do! The whole fairing pops right off when you need it to

@jayr3548 3 года назад

Is that a road king or a switchback?

@DCyclemoto 3 года назад

Sport Glide

@tomgeorge6865 4 года назад

Appreciate the reviews and content, but as for the Memphis accessories,nope, not for my sport glide.

@marioartesi7683 4 года назад

Hi DCycle !!!i am considering the road warrior for my SG, could you please link me the parts codes for the fairing and the bolt on kit ?! Also I am 5’10” and previously mounted a Clockwerk 8” which was absolutely hopeless with wind buffeting... Will check your install video again but did you get the headlight extension kit as well ?!?! Keep it sleazy DCycle !!!!

@DCyclemoto 4 года назад

@marioartesi7683 4 года назад

Thank you DCycle, I am 5’9” so do you think a 13” screen would do me well ?! Also I have a 10” wild1 Ape fitted, would the handlebars be in the way of the shield ?! I love the look of the road warrior and can’t wait to get it if fits !!!
