So does anyone know if a Memphis Shades Batwing will fit the Stryker? And how do most of you like the Boulevard on the bike? I've read a comment regarding there being issues with the Boulevard and fullface helmets. What's that about BEFORE I drop the cash for a Boulevard...

That's one of the reasons I'm curious about the Batwing fit up. I've contacted Memphis Shades and I'm still waiting for their reply. I know that on the VStar1300 their batwing did a great job of providing wind shear over the head even with a shorter windshield.

I bought the boulevard and I love it. Maybe it's got something to do with height though, I'm 6'2"". Maybe not, maybe I just like the feel of the wind flowing into my brain bucket.
I'm seriously thinking about buying the Memphis Shades Batwing for a VStar 1100 (has fork clamps rather than bolt ons), but at 4 bills I don't want to waist that kind of cash. Maybe I'll head over to my dealer and measure out the forks between the two bikes to see if it's even possible.

The Memphis Batwing will not fit the Stryker according to them. I also email them asking this "
"I see that the bullet fairing is listed to fit the 2011 Star Stryker. I was
wondering if the batwing fairing will also fit the stryker. I don't see a
listing for it yet but will another mouting kit work or are you working on
one for the Stryker. Thanks"
Their response:
"I'm sorry but it will not.

I have ordered the National Cycle QR deflector like another member has here. Waiting for the courier to deliver it before I can give my impressions.

Yeah Raven I called them yesterday and got the same answer. I'm going to measure out the front end on a VStar 1100 and see how close the measurements are. I have several friends that are engineers maybe we can work something out. Let me know how you like the National.
I have contacted just about everyone about the batwing for the Stryker. No one has made one and at this point no one is plaining to make one to fit it. I plan on getting the memphis shades one and trying my luck at making some custom brackets.Raven said:
I am 5'8" and I love the Boulevard also and I wear a half helmet as well. Before I put this windshield on, I felt that the wind was going to knock me off of the bike above 75mph and that the wind was going to rip my helmet off of my head. Since, I put the windshield on, I have done 90-95 with no problem. The turbalance is not that bad. I love the wind in my face and so far the bugs have not been a big deal up here in Northern NJ. I hope that this helps.

Cuz I Ken - Please let me know how the batwing goes. If it turns out well, I'd definitely like to get some of those custom brackets to get it to fit. I really hope it works!

The factory Short model windshield I ordered just came in, should have it installed by this weekend, will post pics and results ASAP. I'm 5'9" and am optomistic that the short model will be a good balance of wind-block and styling. (Especially for the $$ !!)
