Default Anyone with a fat bob and a 1/4 fairing?

I am looking into a fat bob and love the look of the fairing on this bike. Wondering what it might look like on the fat bob. Obviously I would have to change out the headlight.

i think it will look good. but you will have to change more than just the head light to make it work.

Sick,
Wouldn't he need to go with the wideglide version of the Ness fairing on a fatbob? Aren't trees wide glide on a fatbob?
Mike, you may also be able to adapt the HD quarter fairing to a fatbob. You'd have to space out the brackets and get the Kuryakyn turn sig mounts for the 49mm tubes, but it may look cool too. I'm thinkin' seriously about putting the HD 1/4 fairing on my streetbob.

Either one of 'em, the Ness fairing or the HD would look sick on a fatbob once you worked out all of the mounting details.

last saint,
you are right, he wil need the wide glide ness faring. that is the faring i have on my bob. it seem to work the best for the 06 and up dynas. as far as mounting the faring i am useing the Kuryakyn turn signal clamps. But alot of guys in the area use the harley turn signal relocation kit. they mount them from the top pinch bolts on the triple trees. Some guy even use detachable windshild brackets to mount them. there is no set way to mount the faring you just have to make it work. either the ness or the hd faring would look good on it.

I've also wanted to do this to my bob. I like the look of the fairing on a dyna.

Dutch,
it's the one that Sickwithit has on his bike. Ness has been making them for years. Probably the ones you saw on his site. They make one for narrow glides and one for wideglide front ends.

And, if you put one of these fairings on your bike, you'll be an honorary member of the Sons of Anarchy MC!


J/K guys. I like the way the fairings look too. Just thought it funny that every bike but one on the SOA premier had one.

LOL, yeah I was wondering about that. You don't see too many bikes with the 1/4 fairings and almost all of those guys had them. Maybe it's their club thing? Maybe they will actually talk about bikes next time? Or maybe I could just watch Guiding Light and get the same effect as that show had? I don't know about you guys but it's fairly disappointing to me.
