Default FatBob bullet fairing options?

Hi All,

As per the title, I am looking for a bullet or quarter type fairing for a 2014 FatBob that I am about to buy.

I have done a fair bit of searching and all I can find is the Dougz fairing, which while it is quite sweet, is a bit taller and deeper than I ideally want.

Does anybody know of any other options? I want to keep the double headlights as I really like the look and intend to put HID kits into them. Here in the UK, the bike is wired from the factory so that one of the double headlights is for dip, and the other for main beam, however I will to rewire the bike so both are active for main and dip. I think the double lights with HID power will be awesome.

Worst case, I'll get the Dougz one, but if there are other options out there I'd love to know. It seems a bit strange what with the FB being pretty popular bike that there don't appear to be other options available that keep the double headlight look.

Thanks in advance!

Actually saw a fatbob with a fairing on it the other day. Was a bit odd seeing the dual headlights. I thought it looked pretty damn good. Not quite the style in going with my '14 fb, but I'd like to see how yours turns out.

Was it a Batwing or a 1/4 fairing you saw? I was looking at the DougZ one as well (in pic), little pricy at $450 (then needs paint & 2 QD's) but I understand the time he spent to dial it in correctly and it is made of urethane and not plastic.

May pull the trigger on one down the road though

It was the quarter fairing. Didn't get to look at it as much as I'd like to, but like I said it had a surprisingly nice look in person. The dougz one does have a nice price attached. Then like you said with the paint. Not sure how it'd look in the sand camo though.

I think that looks deadly! I would go that route if I had the fat bob

I highly recommend the thug/club style thread. Those guys know a ton about the quarter style fairings and all the goodness that goes with them. Mostly single headlight guys, but I'm sure they would be able to point you in the right direction. Plus there are some sweet freaking bikes.

Has anyone tried one of the single headlight styles on a Fat Bob? Will any of them fit?

I have the HD 5 3/4 LED on my fat bob, and I love it

Thought I remembered that you plan to black out your scoot - why not do it in matte black to match the tank stripes - bet it would look great
