- Memphis Shades Road Warrior Highway Test and Review for Harley Softail Street Bob!! We'll finally put the Road Warrior to the test with a ride on the highway to get an idea of performance and wind protection.
Memphis Shades Road Warrior
11in Dark Smoke Screen

Love the road warrior! Very first mod I purchased and installed on my ‘21 Low Rider S when I bought it. Got the 13” vented screen as I’m 6’+ with my boots on. Even the 13” screen leaves my head totally exposed to the wind which is exactly what I wanted. I just don’t like the wind hitting my chest and trying to rip me off my bike at highway speeds. That 114 is some kinda fun after starting on a sporty!
I agree for sure 🤟
I put one on my wide glide, love it! I’m 5’-10”, have a saddlemen w/ a backrest and with the forward controls. I bought the 15” but I cut it down to 10” because I lean back. Good on the highway at any speed.
Dude i love your channel. Im lookin at a Standard soon and this would RULE
Thanks man! That's a great option too
Thanks for the update 👍
Looks great
Thanks man!
I use the Memphis Shades system on my 20 Bob here in Philly. I went with the regular shades vs the Road Warrior for several reasons. First was I didn't want to extend the headlight. Secondly I want to be able to swap out different shades. I have a large clear shade for the winter and a dark smaller shade for the summer.
My favorite rides are 1.) Kelly Drive to the Art museum and 2.) Route 1 out to 32 along the Delaware to New Hope. Bob works great for trips to the Jersey shore also.
That's good to hear 🤟
coll video thanks for all the info. It is cool for me seeing some one ells riding down the same roads. I know exactly where you were in this video . I been down this rd so many times ..
That's awesome 👌
Enjoyed the ride, beautiful area.
Looks fantastic on your bike I was thinking about doing t bars on my low rider but the look with the apes 😮 IDK now lol
Nice review. Point I’m loving the country side it looks just like the UK
Nice video, clear explanation and great quality. Also your bike looks always super pristine!
I have a question, although not related to the windscreen.
I have a street bob (107) 2028 model. Watching your video, I can see youre going 40-48mph in 3rd gear, and over 30moh in 2nd gear. Maybe it's a rookie question, but I when I do that I feel like the engine is screaming, and over-revving, is it just from my perspective while sitting on it?
You can wind it up a decent amount it's fine
Very excited to know the fairing worked. My bike is still stock, and I'm thinking of a seat first like you mentioned. Do you think a larger windshield would be better or a vented version? Also have you thought about the handguards they sell?
Yeah definitely do seat first. I think a bigger one would vibe possibly awkward to look through. I'm experimenting with a vented one now. I'm not a fan of the handguard look but I'm sure they function well
I run handguards on my FXLRS... I'm not a huge fan of the look but they've made riding on the highway under 20°f much more comfortable with some quality gloves. I've also not caught any rocks with my fingers since putting them on lol.
My brother just bought a 22 Street Bob in blue and I’ve been thinking of getting him one of these as a gift. Thanks for the great review. Makes me feel better knowing it will be a good purchase!
Also, your riding gloves are cool. What brand are they?
Thanks man! Those gloves are from fogy garage. Got a full video on them too!
Great video!
Hey- what kind of levers are those? Thank you 🦅
I put the HD sub-compact windshield on my Sporty and it felt like my head was in a paint shaker. I put some lowers on and it helped..some. I took the windshield off and I just take it. lol
Yeah sometimes a screen can make it worse
You know, that never occurred to me, to change the seat first. I don't why, but that's good advice. I've been thinking of getting another bike,it's either this bike,or an Indian Chief. I'm still on the fence.
Yeah I think it's best to find your Riding position and then get the fairing
I have the same bike. I've been riding since I was 12, never had a windshield. At 65 years old I'm thinking about it. Probably a clear windshield part. Thanks
Not a bad idea. Can always take it off
Love the gloves! Could u provide a link pls?
bike looks awesome! Do you ever ride south on Delaware country roads or Maryland? It would be cool to ride with a famous youtuber when the weather gets warm.
I do come down that way every so often
I love mine but at higher speeds (120kmph +) the buffeting hitting the top of my helmet is mad. It really vibrates my helmet and causes a lot of noise too. I’ve been trying different heights up and down the forks and different and different angles but so far haven’t found the sweet spot.
I’m on a 114 low rider s too. I have the 11” non vented shield. I’m only 5’ 7” and using a saddleman step up seat. Any advice would be welcome 🙏
I think maybe a smaller screen 🤔
You really should consider going with a lighter tint if it's that close to your line of sight. I run a 9" dark smoke screen on mine, but it's on a Road King Special and I sit at 6'4". The air hits me right in the nose lol
I did actually drop down to a vented 9in. I think the line of sight better dropping it down a few inches
I had the Road Warrior 1st, and the coverage sucked but I have the W.G. front end . If I had a narrow Glide front end it would haved work better
Hey! I’m thinking about getting the same fairing but without any screens. What do you think about that? Have you tested how it performs that way? Thank you! Tom
Yeah it still works pretty good even with out a wind screen. Doesn't quite look as good but will still displace some wind
I am 5' 5" and having softail standard 2021 with Saddlemen 2up seat, which size i should order? any advise would be welcome
I would say 9in vented or lower. Or the cafe screen
Very nice! I’m picking up mine soon~ what type of sissy bar are you rocking? I like the low profile/ functionality of it
That's the harley oem sissy bar. Should be able to find it on their website
@@TheMotoJawn thanks brother , ride safe out there 🤘
Hi riders o/
Thanks for the vid and sorry if you already said it (not English speaker here).
I'm 5,6 (1m70) too, so are there any "whistle" sound and 11' is enough not having air flow on the top of the helmet?
Thanks guys ride safe.
I dont notice any whistling
I think it needs to be color matched. Maybe with graphics or something similar to the tank.
The red would definitely look good color matched 👍
what model gloves are those. they look good,sturdy and comfy.
Fogy garage
Can u get a plex audio system with that fairing on
I think I've seen it done before
Nice video bro, where did you get your bag?
Thanks bro. It's an old company called T-bags. Unfortunately I think they're out of business
it's overpowering the front for me; I prefer something more subtle, but appreciate it may deflect the wind well
Bare up front is a good look too
If you have a Wide Glide front end, get the Speed Demon windshield from Memphis Shade . It will look better and is wider
Nice illnhave to take a look 👌
@The Moto Jawn you have a Narrow Glide front end . I'm not saying they don't make it for the Narrowed Glide just like you said watch the measurements and have a safe and great riding year
I think the road warrior is more of a fairing, whereas the speed demon really is just a wind shield. So depends on what you want. Personally I feel the road warrior looks dope!
Get the vented version, works awesome.
I am messing around with a 9in vented. Might like that better
Does it reduce buffeting? Got a 13 inch, love it, but still some annoying buffeting..
@@sandervn7836 It did for me. It redirected a lot of the wind to the body vs head
Just noticed that your levers should be black too. I keep looking at the shiny object in the corner 😊
Oh trust me I know, I hate them haha. I'm trying to find some good black ones
@@TheMotoJawn Something HD should cross reference No?
@@aucklandsadventures yeah I think they have a set available. Should come black
I agree. I blacked out everything on the bars, on my 2017 softail slim. Looked great!
Good looking bike. I think the bike looks old school, while the fairing does not. If they tweaked the design to look less futuristic, I'd like it better.
Yeah maybe a little smaller and squared off
What brand gloves do you have?
Those are the fogy garage ursus cheif
Hi I'm 5.2" which size would suit me?
Probably something higher or lower. Not in between. Probably 13in or above or 7in and below
I knew that was Bells Mill road the second I saw it!
You got that right!
@@TheMotoJawn gotta get out again with ya soon man! River road and New Hope is calling us! Hahaha
Hey buddy. What bag is that on the back?
Just a piece of another bigger bag. The brand T-bags I think they're out of business now.
@@TheMotoJawn oh ok thanks. And You should come out my way and ride. I’m in south Jersey. 25mins from Philly. We have a huge bike night with a lot of UA-camrs.
@@Fatboylife2006 cool ill have to check it out sometime this year
Which tail bag is that? How is it?
An old brand called T-bags I think they're out of business now
@@TheMotoJawn bummer. I’m looking into tail bags for a 114 street bob but I’m having trouble finding any.
Paint it. Red and black.
I’d love to hear from a painter how good a product it is.
you are same height as me, how is the cafe fairing on the sporty? does wind go over your head?
It's pretty good. Wind doesn't really go over your head but it breaks it up enough to be comfortable
We're did u purchase it?
Memphis shades
I need a Street Bob 114 :-p
Go for it
Awesome fairing, I'm selling mine to get my bike back to stock before I trade it in, if anyone's interested
Paint it. You must paint it
That would be awesome
at lease paint it maybe it won't look so bad.
No. Just no. Beautiful bike. Without the faring. 😮
Looks horrible..
Okay I'll take it off
It's very dark to see through...
Like a clear windshield you never know if u may have a dog in the road happen to me a few times and a friend hit a deer and
Survived so be all ways awareness, you can put in a 475
S&s cam it's the best get you that grit ,speed ,and power when you get the erge ,have to change the uncomfortable seat, and may have a big brake light on the back with those little tiny two brake lights I almost want to get a Kawasaki 900 rs you can rock and roll on one of those
And they will run forever with 110 hp and at least 100 lbs lighter then a Harley street bob,
And a real comfortable seat and it doesn't stop at 110 but 150 mph. And cooks 0 to 60 in 3 seconds not 4 like the hog, the retro on the Kawasaki 900 rs is awsome they even seem to run better in the heat , and hogs you need a oil cooler, hogs do pick up babes, make Shure you get tubeless tires in case you pick up a nail you can plug it and keep going , with tube tires your fuc. 🧝💃🦄⚡🌴🌈
