I've done a bunch of research on here and a friend has the HD 1/4, but haven't dealt with to many Tsport fairings so i'm a bit torn. JD makes a pretty sweet t-sport fairing from what I understand so it's either that or the HD 1/4 I just can't decide. Which fairing do you guys prefer and why?

Which blocks wind better without buffeting?

As far as ability to clamp on and off, the HD can use the bungking and HD quick connect hardware, can the JD t-sport or is it a little work to get it on and off?

Are there required headlight modifications needed for the T-sport?

Those with the T-sport, what size windshield do you find and can be low enough to block wind and not give to much buffeting?

AS far as looks I'm leaning towards the HD as its a bit "sportier" looking, but the Tsport looks pretty cool as well. This will be going on a new FXDB.

Thanks guys

 

Anybody?

 

I have the Conley's Retro T-Sport fairing on my bike and I like it. The headlight needs to be relocated, and for buffeting it all depends on preference. I am 5'9 and with a 12" windscreen and there's not much buffeting at all. Obviously that will change depending on the person.

 

Does the wind hit you in the face with the 12" shield or over your head?

How did you have to relocated your headlight? Does the JD require this as well?

Thanks

 

I have the same Conley fairing on a '14 fxdb and im the same height, wind goes over my head for the most part. I wear a simpson outlaw helmet the majority of the time. It did how ever take me a bit of time getting the angle right. Some angles the buffeting was horrible but I got it perfect now.

The headlight relocate bracket is basically just a small bar that pushes the headlight out further. Super simple, also I found putting the fairing brackets as high as possible helps the most.

 

Thanks!

Either of you guys or anybody else ever have both the HD 1/4 and the sport fairing to compare a bit for me? thanks

 

I had both on my SB. I had to play with the JD fairing a little more but once it was right, it blocked a little more wind. I run an original t-sport fairing on my t-sport now. A lot of it depends on your height and seat selection.

 

Thanks! So not a huge difference in wind blockage?

 

The tsport def blocks more wind,esp with a taller windscreen.

 

Thanks
