I love the difference, and the look of the 1/4 fairings. We recently changed the seat from a Badlander (shown in pic below) to a Sundowner, and it raised my riding position a little higher than I like (but the wife got her big *** passenger seat in the change). I have not yet raised the windsheild portion of my fairing to see if that will put my helmet back in the quiet zone.

Have you guys seen the Licks Bullet Fairing? Looks pretty sweet and a lot cheaper than the H-D one

That's a Ness bolt-on fairing...if the picture on the site is correct.

Default 1/4 Fairing

Gant,

What is the brand and model of your fairing. I have been looking all over for one that I really like and I really like the look of the one on your bike. I have looked at Arlen Ness fairings but I can't find any images of bikes with that fairing. Looking forward to your response.

hi, i have a customer with a 2012 iron and would like this on their bike. in the HD p/a catalog , it says it doesnt fit Iron's or nightsters. did you have to do any mods to make this work? it seems like it should fit any narrow glide 39mm fork set up. is the speedo mount in the way? or the signals or headlamp clam shell? thanks for any info!

I put he Memphis Shades gauntlet on my sportster.
It made a huge difference, did 2000 miles in a week earlier this month as I toured around Europe.
Wind resistance at 65 and upwards is much less
