- This Bike into Bagger Buying Guide will outline the motorcycle industry's most popular products which will allow you to convert or transform your standard or naked into a fully functional "bagger."
One of the best ways to know what you want "your bagger" to look like is to visit rallies, events, forums, and showrooms to see what style of fairing and saddlebags best suit the look and functionality you are striving to obtain with your bagger build.
Luckily, the bagger segment is in full swing and there are hundreds of manufacturers offering fairings, brackets, windshields, saddlebags, audio systems,[CR1] and so much more! Stay tuned as we weed through the hundreds of items and bring you the good, better, and best in bagger options so you can be prepared to get your build on!
Fairing Revolution
Harley Davidson birthed the bagger in 1969 with the introduction of the fork mounted fairing option on their Electra Glide motorcycles. In the early 2000's the Street Glide and Road Glide began to gain popularity over the Dyna, Road King and Sportsters. It wasn't until 2005 or so that the fairing manufacturers began expanding their offerings from Harley only applications catering to the metric bikes. Hoppe and Dragonfly were leaders in the "bagger revolution" with the highest quality products. In 2010, Memphis Shades released their Batwing Fairing, which attached to their trigger lock mounting system and brought fairings to metric bikes for just about $500. Kuryakyn then released the Sportech line of fairings in the $700 price range. All of a sudden, fairings became obtainable for the average Joe, whether riding a Harley or a Metric motorcycle.
Saddlebag Revolution
Fitting saddlebags to any bike that does come with saddlebags can be a challenging venture. Finding the correct brackets, the right size bags, throw over, bolt-on, locking hard vs. soft... there is so much to think about and to factor into the equation. Today, we will boil these options down into a good, better best format you can easily follow!

$1700 😳 do they charge you to look at it?
There is not a "bolt on mounting kit" for your specific V-MEN 125. However, you can remove your turn signals and find a Trigger Lock mounting kit from Memphis Shades which has clamps the size of your front forks. It will then be able to be fitted to your bike! Good luck!
Would that fit my 2004 Kawasaki 2000?? The light that you show on the video at 2:18 to 2:20 appears to be the same size light that the Vulcan uses. It is commonly know as the "Bug Eye" light. I really like the batwing look but I can not see paying nearly 2 grand from Corbin. Please help.
No mention of the expensive but beautiful Corbin Bags and Trunks?
I’m interested in a batwing faring for a 2015 triumph bonneville. is there a fairing and mounting hardware available for that?
Her name is Kelly and she is in many of our videos ;) go to cruiser.mototribe and search CruisersKelly...
Did you notice when he says a price he kind of lowers his voice !
Any recommendations on a batwing for a 2000 vulcan 1500...want something with integrated gps/sound system...
DO YOU THINK I COULD GET A FAIRING OR BATWINGS FOR MY HONDA V-MEN 125? DO YOU SALE AND SHIP TO MEXICO? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY REQUEST
Royal Enfield Airflow, 1959 ... HD started 10 year later, ... again. But we all know it ... other brands try to look like a HD. 😆😆
eazy brzckets used less then 7 month..rusted and cracked..dump it..
The locks on mine disintegrated after a couple years. I went with the saddleman universal bag mounts it put the bags closer to the bike making them look like it came that way not the aftermarket look
Try dragonfly cycle concepts detachable fairing..
I like my Memphis Batwing. It's hollow and I can stuff a bag of groceries or my jacket snugly behind the fairing. Loud stereos on bikes are ridiculous to me. To each his own.
I own a 1994 roadking purchased a batfairing with 6X9 speakers after installation i get high speed wobbles at 80 mph seeking advice, raul
Raul Ascencio a lot of harleys wobble in the corner because of crap swing arm bushing set up !
@@dalecarpenter8359 not just that but big fenders catch air.the bat wing angle could be off.tire pressure,to much weight towards the back of the bike( fat ass). Ect.not just Harleys.
No one has the klockworks wing
Can u ship to Brazil???
I need batwings w/ stereo to my dyna super glide
try Ebay. There is a universal fit Batwing on there right now. It is MEMPHIS SHADES 2330-0017 BATWING FAIRING
AND they ship world wide. ENJOY!
Nice, but, now i have a suzuki m50, u have a compatible one?
yup they are compatible. US $279.95
alberto falcon thought they were made in brazil
Are you aware of any company make a batwing for a 2014 Honda Goldwing Valkyrie?
Jay Johnson
Honda !
$30,000.00 for a $10,000 bike !
Yeah but it also has $1K worth of parts and a expensive name so that makes sense why the $30K price tag.😂😂
Stealth fairing best
LOL for title miss type!
Whew, if y'all were charging that much then, I'd hate to see today's prices! No thanks!!!
$600.00 !oh i forgot its Harley so its always far far more .
Dale Carpenter didn't now Harley's had shaft drive. The one in video it's not a Harley
I love this overpriced shit. Make me happy to see how much I save when I mod say a Volkswagen air filter that cost 16 $ to fit when the closest fit for my bike is 350$. And yes kids you can do this with almost any part.
