Default Dragonfly fairing

Has anyone installed a Dragonfly fairing on their softail? If so, did you install gauges as well?

I have ordered one and will pick it up while in Myrtle Beach in 10 days and a wake up. The only time consuming part willbe designing and routing the wiring harness for the gauges. I'll have them install the fairing at the rally. But, when I get home, I'll redo the wiring and installoil pressure and volt gauges. I'm pretty picky about my wiring.

Got the Dargonfly installed in Myrtle on Tuesday, and wow! I love it. The fit and finish are great. It adds a whole new dimension to riding a softail. It offers alot of options, I went with the stereowith sirius. I couldn't believe the sound quality at 80 mph. I rode with it 330 miles back to Virginia and grinned every mile.
The next thing is to wire up and add handlebar switches, this will be easy as Dragonfly has a kit. The more difficult task will be wiring from scratch the oil pressure and voltmeter gauges I decided to go with.

How much did the faring cost? Did you get it painted to match your bike? I've seen these before on other Heritages and they looked great. Thanks.

It was about $2400 color matched. I love it, it's like riding a different bike. I am more than happy with my decision to get it. It has sirius radio and you can play mp3s via a thumb drive. Once I get all the parts together, I'm going to install some gauges. I'm itching to try it out on a cross country. The next big ride will be the 50CC. I did the 1000 in about 16 hours to get my saddlesore certificate with just the windshield. The dragonfly is much quieter, it's just a better experience. Once I figure out how to get some pictures on here, I'll post.
