- Join me as I review the Memphis Shades Road Warrior Fairing that I have for my 2018 Harley Davidson Road King Special. I talk about ease of installation, mounting, what I like and dislike about it, and show how easy it is to change the look of your motorcycle with this fairing.

Love the bike ! Just came across your channel, I'm happy to support you and other fellow motovloggers. Keep up the great work and ride safe out there on that beautiful RK. I look forward to seeing more from you in the future 👍👍💯💯
Thank you and thank you for subscribing to the channel!! You ride safe as well brother!!
Love the look of the bike with that fairing!
Thanks!!! And thanks for watching and commenting! Always ride safe!
Also J St, When I first got my RK from HD I installed lower HD fairings. I think they were responsible for an increased updraft like you're describing. I thought about how best to reduce that problem. I ended up modifying a set of Memphis Shades Fork Deflectors, cut them to be compatible with the lower fairings, and polished the edges. They push that updraft down and around. Works great and they look real good if you go with the black ones.
Thats a great idea!!! be great to see a pic of that mod.

@@allwrong3114 thanks for sharing!!! That looks awesome!!
I've got KST 10" Outlaws on my 2020 RKS. Totally dig them. Nice height (not sky high apes- Thee days are way behind me). Also sitting on a LePera Daytona 2-up with rider backrest. Benn riding on LePera seats for years. JST, how do you like your Maverick?
Love the Maverick!!! Most comfortable seat I’ve ridden on.
I enjoyed the video….I have a 2022 road king special with the road warrior fairing. 2 questions…My shield is 13 inches from headlight opening to the top of the shield. Is that an 11 or 9 shield. I want a taller one with that vent cut. Second my bars are stock and I like your. I was told at the Harley shop for comfort don’t go above your shoulders. Your opinion??? I’m 5’10
Thanks for watching and for the questions. I am not a representative of Memphis Shades but I will answer as best I can. I measured mine and I am 15" from top of light opening to top of the windscreen and I know my windshield is 11", I think you have the 9". Bars are an extremely personal thing, with that said, I do agree that your hands should not be above your shoulders when riding. Mine are the 14" KST Kustoms Renegades and work perfect for me. Depending on the problem you are trying to solve with the taller bars (hands going numb, pain in the upper back, or just want a different look) you might be able to make other changes first. For instance, you can rotate the stock bars forward a little bit and it will raise your hands up some. Let me know what you decide to do!! Thanks again for the support and always ride safe!!
Get the 13 or 15 and have it tinted with 5% tint. That’s my plan for this fairing if I need taller than the 11 inch
Great idea!! I will keep that in mind if I ever decide to go taller. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Great video you help me make my decision, how tall are you? I'm 5'5 & don't really know what size windshield to get.
I’m 6’ and the 11” dark black smoke works just fine for me. Thanks for watching the video. I’m very glad it helped you with your decision.
Love the look of your bike. Just purchased a 22 RK and looking at getting the Road Warrior Fairing. What Bars are those and what is the Hight? Thank you for your response.
Those are 14” kst customs renegades. Highly recommend the road warrior fairing from Memphis Shades. Thank you for watching the video. I hope you watch more and like the content.
I have 2020 rks and I put 16 inch carlini gangsta apes. Oh man are the worth the money . Check them out
2020 RKS with KST 10" Outlaws. Not meat hooks and have a comfortable bend to them. Also sporting an HD Wind Splitter shield that I modified to rock fore and aft to adjust the bubble as well as to lock the shield in place. I'm a 60 year old dude and I dig seeing guys set up their RKs as sound touring bikes while maintaining the great RK style. Looks great JST.
I'm leaning towards putting this fairing on my RKS but I've had reservations because of the windshield tinting. I've thought maybe about grabbing the bigger windshield anyway and just taking it to get tinted but I'm not sure if it will stand up to the weather.
I don’t know. If the tinting job is good enough it should stand up to the weather.
I was considering the same. Maybe tinting the inside of the fairing is an option?
It certainly could. Thanks for watching and contributing to the commentary!!
Hey whats happening brother, I have a 2011 road king classic will that fairing fit on my bike ? Also whats the part # for that fairing? I like that it has those 2 openings on it but I can't find it on there website btw I'm jealous you bike look just like I want mine lol
Thanks for watching and the compliment about my bike. The link I provided in the description lets you pick your specific bike from there it shows the products they have that fit your platform. You want to look for the “vented” windshields to add to the road warrior fairing. The only thing I can see that would keep it from fitting a road king classic are those side aux lights that are mounted on the outside of the forks. If you eliminate those it will probably fit so then you’d need to select the road king special as your platform in order to see the correct one. Hope this helps and seriously thanks for the support!!
Do you think the vents in the windshield helps decrease buffeting?
Thanks for this question and for watching the video. As I kind of mentioned in the video. I don’t get any real buffeting. What I do get is an updraft of wind at about where my belt is. But I honestly think that is due to the wind being directed by the lower fairings. With that said, buffeting and it’s effect on us is a personal thing. In other words what I might not consider buffeting you would and vice versa. For me this windshield keeps all the wind off of me that I want at this time while the vents allow enough air flow that I remain cool. I know this isn’t a straight up answer but as buffeting is a subjective thing. So all I can do is tell you my experience.
Nice bike. What speaker is this? Do you connect them to USB power source ?
It’s the Kuryakyn road thunder. Connects to phone via Bluetooth and has a USB port to use for charging the phone. I’m going to review the speaker in a video coming up in the next week or so. Thanks for watching!!
@@jst_moto Will wait your review. Thanks.
You’re welcome. Likely to be the video released on 10/18/2022.
I have a 2020 rks .I've been interested in that faring does it look cheap on the bike.
Not at all. I get a lot of compliments about how it looks on the bike.
I’m thinking this is the kind of fairing I’m going with on my 2020 RKS. Mine is barracuda silver. Can I get one in that color?
No but you can get it painted to color match. The manufacturer only makes them in black. Thanks for watching. Ride safe!!!
We’re did you get the mounting hardware in black
Ordered it when I got the fairing from Memphis shades. They had them both. Thanks for watching. Always ride safe.
What’s the price range on everything put together?
I’m going from memory but I believe my set up was between $400 and $500. There is a link to the Memphis shades site in the description and they have prices there. Thanks for watching and the comment!! Always ride safe.
