Video-You may have a Honda cruiser class motorcycle such as the VTX. Windshields are great, but there is nothing like having a fairing on those cross-country trips. This makes for a more comfortable ride when really putting on the miles. Plus a fairing can completely change the look of the Honda VTX and it then allows you to install a stereo and speakers, making your long trips even better!
In this free video we show you everything you need to know to install an aftermarket batwing fairing on your Honda VTX. Save you money and do both of these projects by yourself right on the kickstand in your very own shop or garage. Only basic tools are needed and there is no need to pay a dealership to do this.
When you are finished with this video you are ready to install an aftermarket stereo and speakers and of course we have a free video for that too!

I installed mine by myself in about 3 hours start to finish. You can just use a thick rag over the headlight to set the inner fairing on while you mount it. That gives you some clearance between the fairing and the headlight housing. Once you get the bolts in and loosely fit everything, you can go around and tighten all the bolts. I had to make some fine adjustments but it's fairly simple to do. I really like the fairing and having a radio to listen to while riding.
Love the fact that you through this on a VTX
I have 1999 Vulcan Nomad, it came with all parts & bolts to install it using factory windshield mount. The video was awesome to help give some pointers for install. I just had to cut open speaker holes and deck opening a lil bit more. then had it painted. She's riding in style now. Thanks for video again.
Casey, that's awesome! Glad to hear we could help.

Awesome video very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for this video I been looking for a video forever
Sweet, now that I have a VTX 1800 - just might consider this, nice camera work Lurch!
Thank you! ~Lurch
Did you or would you recommend using any type of caulking or anything, especially along the windshield to keep moisture out? It rains more over here in Olympia than in Yakima.
Law Abiding biker every time I here or read it I’m like oh man im not a abiding the law without out a license buuuut I’m good now I got my license now so I am law abiding biker baby!
Love the Timbuck 3 reference
Great video... I Love it... I to have a 2006 Honda VTX 1800R1 I'll be getting this batwing for my bike as well....
What is the turning signal bar that is on that bike?
Mine doesn't have it and I'm looking for one like it.
Great video. Glen's VTX Garage sells headlight extenders for this bike in 2", 3" and 4" sizes. Might make the headlight look a little better after the fairing is installed if you don't want the recessed look. Thanks for doing something Metric!
Awesome info Alan and thanks for the support.

A scrap piece of 3/16 or 1/4" aluminum (T6 is what I use) will make a headlight extender and/or Pair Valve blockoffs. Sabre saw with orbital action and plenty of WD40.... then sand and polish.
I just got mine installed in one afternoon, taking my time and getting it done right. I then took a couple hours to get the radio and speakers installed and wired up. Some small adjustments are needed to get it centered on the headlight. I also decided to move my headlight out a couple inches (made my own headlight extender instead of paying for one) The fairing fits good, looks good and seems to be good quality. I'll probably end up with lower faring wind deflectors because I noticed with the batwing fairing on my other bike, I will more than likely need them to prevent the wind updraft from around the fairing. So for about $300 invested, I have a great faring with a great sound system!! Can't beat that.
Right on!

Where can I get ome to buy and how to i get a red color to match my 2007 Yamaha v star 650
What about the spacers that come with it? I didn't see you put them on
What year of a street glide windshield will work with this fairing?
Any information on vtx1300 ventilation port on rear cylinder head crankcase ventilation @ aluminum stud post want to tap it and tie into the front head crankcase ventilation port bad idea ?
I have that fairing is quality built, but the mounts between the fork tubes on the triple trees are too weak and the fairing moves when I hit bumps, which isn't good. I don't think it's good for the stereo and eventually the fairing itself will start to crack by the bolt holes. I am going to lengthen the brackets and mount the faring directly to the fork tubes with clamps instead.
Where do you get this part at i would like to check into one for my bike
I have a question. I have a VTX 1800 that i just got a fairing for. My bike has a quick release and i would love to continue to use the quick release system. Is that possible? Thank you
Any recommendations for additional support brackets
Do you know where he bought his faring for his VTX thanks man
Can I ask where the u shaper brackets came from?
where can i get u shaped bracket from?
where I can buy the handle itself ?
What mounting kit it this and where can I get it
What year streetglide windshield works best
If I had hard bags I'd put the bat wing faring on but it just don't look right to me unless it has the streghted out hard bags
great pointers
+bgwilly357 Thanks and super glad the video was of use to you.

Hello, where can i buy exactly this fairing badwing??? Thanks!!
Looks nice
Quick question: I have the same fairing but empty shell on my 06’ Roadstar. The top part of the fairing shakes a lot when lots of wind on highway. I’m thinking of putting extra brackets attached maybe from the handle bars to make the top part stiffer. Any suggestions how I could tackle that? Thx and love the show. 👍
I'm going thru the comments looking for an answer to this exact question myself. I've looked up stabilizing brackets for batwing fairing and the options for my 2006 Honda VTX1300C are limited at best. Everything is made for Harley
Where can I get a fairing for my 2004 Shadow Aero 750? Will one of these work with a little modification?
Thanks for showing the in stall, I bought a Reckless for my 1100 V star. I have to say their instructions suck. Photocopy so much in black and white can't make heads or tails. Although I have different brackets for the forks, you made it look really simple. Thanks a ton and ahalf....
I see several people asking about these brackets. Any luck on finding them? Any help from the person that posted the video would be nice
I love how the Stealth Batwing looks. Great job!!!
I have a 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1500 and I can't find the U-Shaped Brackets anywhere? I've literally have spent all morning looking for these. Can you refer me to a website or contact in where I can purchase these? I have tried Ebay as you suggested on an earlier response.
Love your videos!!!
+Victor Moreno I couldn't find much either. It looks like it's difficult to find the brackets seperate. Check out these Ebay listings and see if they are what you are looking for.

I have the same bike in a 2002. I have the same faring, but only the outer shell. Had to take it off after a year due to the batwing being pushed I into my resivoirs on my handle bars. I also checked the brackets. They were tight. Maybe I need different brackets, but I used the ones that were supplied by Memphis Shades. Ideas?
Slow down! haha Did you get that resolved or contact the company?
Dónde puedo conseguir esos soportes?
what is name of the company for the fairing
Where do i find the triple tree u shaped bracket? I have looked on multiple bike sites and cant find 1
Vector batwing fairing is the site that the u shaped bracket
Very nice video, I really appreciate if you can tell me which are the manufacture name and where can I buy this hardware for install the fairing... thank in advance and I really I will appreciate.

is there somewhere I can get just the mounting brackets? I already have the fairing.
Jason Dwyer you can make your own by clamping stainless steel sheet metal or chrome bands around the forks then bolting the bands to the fairing mounting bracket or make your own with steel plate.
i have 99 Vulcan nomad and a Harley batwing . im looking for brackets to fit batwing I think batwing is Memphis has all the gauges in it have it mounted but bounces too much and want to remount and stiffen up mounting so it doesn't bounce around so much .Any one know where I can get some brakets
email me at mrcopp@outlook.com
if that came from usatrailer they dont include the mount bracket now they have hose clamps. stopped me from ordering it because i wont mount anything with hose clamps.
I got the one from US Trailer for my 300 VTX and it did come with mounting brackets just like the ones on this video. I didn't want the model that uses the form mount hose clamps. It just looks tacky to me. Mine fit perfect.
Where did you guys get the mounting equipment cant find it anywhere
It came with the kit.
Did that fairing come with the holes pre drilled for the plates that bolt to the bracket to mount the fairing? How did you measure to get the holes the same if you drilled? I have a usa-biker bat wing, way different than the one you installed, radio is bigger than double din radio, speaker holes are odd size, so I need to make a few tweeks.
Reno Raines i have a usa biker fairing that I just bought as well and I am having the same problem. 5 inch speaker holes and no pre drilled holes. If it came with the holes predrilled it seems like it would be a breeze but if you have to drill your own then don't mess up. Lol BTW the big space for the cd player is for you to buy there waterproof cover that you install first so your cd player will fit snug. Im having the same problems you are. So keep me posted as to what you do about them.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm dealing with the holes in my custom setup now any tips?
@@mitchellhulin7568 you ever figure it out
can you make a video showing how to install a batwing fairing made by tsukayu on a Honda shadow 750 aero
We've always got tons of videos in the works. Make sure you're subscribed. We'll put it on the list
I have cause your buddy has a different Honda then mine
How do I get the U-shaped mounting brackets?
Did you ever find the brackets, im currently looking and cant find
where can I get those mounting brackets??
The owner of the bike got the kit off of Ebay.

Anyone know where I can get this fairing? I have a 2001 VTX 1100
+Drake Hawkins Go to 30 seconds into the video and we tell about it. ride safe
Unfortunately it talks about how much it costs, but not where he found it.
they dont make a 1100 vtx
Moto Man I'm guessing he meant a saber vt 1100
It will look much better once the passing lights are mounted

Why would anyone want that crap on there bike batwing or windshield the goal of ridding is to feel the wind un your face and chest if thats not what you want go drive a car
What's the inches on the windshield you guys put on
