I'm no engineer but based on my limited knowledge I'd believe a batwing on the forks is still sprung weight, not unsprung? The batwing is mounted to the fork tubes which ride on the front springs.

I've been hoping to get a chance to try a RG Ultra to compare the handling of the two styles.

I don't know about sprung and unsprung weight but I've ridden both a Roadie and an Electra Glide of similar years. The EG handled better in the twisties while the Roadie was a better distance bike. I think the Roadie fairing weighs more so that must make some sort of difference.

Someone needs to find a way to mount a Voyager/Vaquero fairing to the 1500/1600.

Chili. A batwing fairing mounted to a Nomad mounts on the triple tree uppers and lowers, not to the forks themselves. Therefore part of the frame structure ?

EDIT: I should say that it may be mounted to the lower T.T.but nothing at the top ....now I have to go and look. I just had the dairing off ......but do you think I can recall? ahhh NO !

Maybe I have this messed up but my HD fairing is mounted {to my Nomad} on the sides of the forks. But getting back to "netnorski" and his orig. thoughts,.... I'd go with the frame mounted any time Kris. I've heard nothing but good stuff on frame mounted, and nothing about this water/ wind coing in on a Voyager.
