  1. I installed a Memphis Shades fairing and the wind deflectors on my '99 Royal Star Tour Classic. Since both fairing and deflectors were from the same company there was not a fitment issue. I really like the looks of the deflectors and they work well. Look on the MS website and see where the deflectors mount, drill the holes and enjoy!
  2. Ah yes, the ACLU. That erudite organization determined to ensure that only athiests have the right to worship as they see fit. Sarcasm intended.

  5. Greetings All, and a Happy New Year! I was reading the post about iffy handling in curves and during the tire discussions I remembered something peculiar. I ride a 1999 RSTC which came with the Dunlop 404F's. They were the whitewall type and I didn't care for the look so when the front wore out I replaced them with Pirelli 66 Route's. WOW! What a difference in handling. Instead of the bike rolling into a turn like a bloated whale in a surf-break, she turned-in smartly (for a 700+lb cruiser) and cruises straight and true with no rain groove tracking or other such distractions. I swear the Pirelli's feel like they took 200lbs off of the bikes' handling charateristics. Now for the "peculiar" part. One day riding home from work the bike started handling squirrely in the turns so I checked the air pressure. It was low so I aired her up. A few days later the same deal. Long story short; I found a 5/8" long TOOTH had punctured the tire between the tread pattern! Thinking back I recalled that a week or so before I had hit some roadkill at 5:30 AM because I didn't see it in the dark in time. I'm pretty sure the the tooth donor was a 'possum, judging by the shape and remaining length of said tooth. So, my question is, what kind of strange debris have other riders had cause them tire punctures?
  6. Greetings, I would like to mount a Memphis Shades Batwing fairing on my Tour Classic. Memphis Shades does not offer an exact fitment for my bike but it does sell batwings for other "star" models. Does anyone know of an existing Memphis Shades bike model fitment that would work for me, or which batwing model number I could buy, and a proven method to mount it? Thanks in advance for any help!
