QTY:

An improved version of our Memphis Fats, the Drop-Top™ Memphis Fats features a built-in, height-adjustable Venturi Wing™ that smoothes the air flow and virtually eliminates buffeting. Using the Venturi effect, air is boosted up and over the rider, producing the benefits of a shield up to 3" taller; adjusted to 16", you get the wind protection of 19" and a clear view of the road — never having to look through a windshield again!

  • Dynamic styling, available in Ghost (a light black tint with 85% visible light transmission) or Black Smoke with Polished straps.
  • Adjustable. Available in 3 height ranges: 13”-16”, 15”-18”, and 17”-20”.
  • Fine tune final adjustment- 1 1/4” toolless adjustment for perfect fit, or, “drop-top” around town.
  • Revolutionary Concept: Using the venturi effect, the Drop-Top windshield is positioned well below the rider’s line of sight while pushing the airflow over the rider completely without buffeting.
  • Engineered using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Software. Contoured concave Venturi Wing™ boosts the air flow up an additional 3”, throughout the full range of adjustment.
  • Made from Lucite® for excellent optics and durability
  • Made in the U.S.A. - Made in Memphis!


CFD DESIGNED, REAL WORLD TESTED

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is specialized software used to evaluate air flow around 3-D shapes. Windshield designs developed using CFD may be analyzed with hundreds of variations before prototypes are tested in real-world riding conditions to validate the results.


Trigger-Lock Mounting Hardware

The revolutionary Trigger-Lock mounting hardware features an innovative system that allows you to quickly and easily remove your windshields without the use of any tools. Each kit is model specific and custom-fit to each style of bike for a truly no-hassle installation.

  • Angle Adjustable
  • Model specific no-hassle installation, then on-off without tools.
  • A pair of glass-filled nylon latches lock it down until the spring loaded "Trigger-Locks" are intentionally disengaged.
  • Guaranteed never to rust or tarnish. Made exclusively of electrocoated aluminum and stainless steel, with stainless steel fasteners.
  • Anchoring hardware is the same for all windshields and fairings for each bike.
  • Made in the U.S.A. - Made in Memphis!

Trigger-Lock Mount Kits vs Plates Only Kits

Trigger-Lock Mounting Kits consist of anchoring hardware (the part that stays on the bike), and mounting plates (the part that connects the fairing or windshield to the bike). “Plates Only” kits can be use when you already have Memphis Shades Trigger-Lock anchoring hardware on your bike. For example, if you already run, say, a Gauntlet fairing, you could mount a windshield or another fairing using “Plates Only”.
