Default Road Glide Fairing mounts for a Road King

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I wanted to look at putting a roadglide fairing on my road king.

Thanks

here you go: http://www.granitestateharleystore.c...partfinder.htm

all the touring models share the same frame, it's just that they're 'dressed' differently. look up the parts you need, then start checking out ebay, classifieds, 20% dealers, etc.....

there are a few threads on here from people who have converted from a batwing to a shark and have detailed the parts they used, costs, etc...

If you use the 2010 fairing brackets which slightly relocated the fairing, you have the option of also running the vented lower fairings. These are the parts numbers for the OEM fairing support brackets.


58530-10 main fairing mount bracket
77078-98A radio support bracket
58460-10 lower fairing support (right side)
58454-10 lower fairing support (left side)
58487-04 fairing support clamp (two needed)


There are a fair number of aftermarket options, as well. Look around a little, and checked the custom bagger forums for additional information. Hells Foundry has a fully adjustable fairing mount, and some slick fairing support brackets. In either case, you'd still need the OEM radio bracket.


The Road Glide in my sig pic started life as an ex-cop Road King.

I entertained the same thought. Ended up keeping the Road King and bought a Road Glide. It was taken out (Road Glide) but will be getting another. Having 2 bikes is a good thing.

By the time I decided I wanted a Road Glide, I'd already spent a fair amount of time upgrading my motor and suspension. Most of that wouldn't transfer over to another bike, so it was a whole lot less expensive to do the conversion than sell, buy a different bike, and start all over.


I sourced a 2010 RG fairing, complete with interconnect harness, handlebar wiring and switches, gauges, stereo and all brackets. It was just a matter of rewiring the main harness with one from a fairing bike, and assembling it as a RG.

Thanks for the help guys. I like the look of the Road Glide but not ready for a new bike. I was looking at a 2 or 3k upgrade rather than 23k.

OP search for postings by red beard, I think that is the name. He did a street glide to road glide conversion on a CVO. He developed a parts list on an excel spreadsheet with part numbers. perhaps he would share it with you. it will reduce your search time and give you a comprehensive list of needed parts.

There's a guy selling complete take-offs in CT for about $1800.00. He's been on Ebay and Craigs list.
