T-Sport vs HD 1/4 Fairing
#11
I've never run the actual HD 1/4, but I ran the Gauntlet from Memphis Shades, which is very similar and I've run T-Sport repop with an adjustable 14.5" shield. The T-Sport killed the Gauntlet as far actual wind redirection. The T-Sport ride like it was actually designed to move air around you, not just block it and throw it up over you.
I just rode the last two days without any fairing on at all, due to a pending trade with another guy for a FXRT fairing, and the difference between my T-Sport and no fairing is ridiculous. I legitimately forgot what it feels like to go 80 mph without it.
Get the JD T-Sport, you will not regret it.

Im 6'4" I have a T-Sport with a 16.5 windshield and a sporty with a 1/4 fairing
I have ridden both bike a good deal, before I got the fxdxt all I had was the sporty and for the longest time I had nothing up front blocking the wind. When I decide to pull the trigger on a HD 1/4 fairing it was a huge improvement, the sporty does sit a little low in the saddle but with my height I still experience buffering. I always go out with a full face helmet and the amount of buffering I have isn't enough for me to complain about since the helmet compensates for this.
However since owning a fxdxt with a 16.5 (which still looks bitchin) I have found myself spoiled. As far as clip on windshields... throw them out I hate the way they look. But with the T having a windshield built into a fairing just best of both worlds. Looks great and I don't find myself fighting the wind or buffering.
I use to be a no windshield kind of guy, but with todays options and my experience I don't think Ill ever go without a fairing/windshield combo again.
All that being said I do plan to add a Laminar lip to the 1/4 on the sporty, from my research that should clear up any buffering and wind I still have as well as keep the smaller clean look a 1/4 provides
If I was to buy a dyna with nothing upfront today... I wouldn't hesitate to buy a fxdxt fairing.... Might even be the first mod I'd do
