Custom Fairing
Hey guys,
I have 2017 Fatboy S with 12 inch ape hanger. I’m looking to purchase a fairing but I cannot find what I’m looking for anywhere !
lookong for more of the club style or taller cafe Fairing.
the head lamp is a 7” so that is already making it difficult.
i assume I will most likely have to get something made!
any ideas where to start?!
cheers!

I think a Slim and a Fatboy are pretty similar in the front for 2017. This kit might fit.

Here's the only one I could find, probably not what you're looking for.

There are all types/shapes/sizes available if you look/search hard enough?
Custom? Do you have a 'vision, or style' in mind you can't find. Sketches?
I always wanted different stuff I could not find or had crazy high prices for 'close'.
Started making my own guitars, boats, bikes, gun and MC parts years ago.
High end carpenter, and die maker by trade.
Don't always 'love' what I make after completion but, I build what I design and that usually leads to "next one will be perfect"
Sometimes satisfied. Tend to whip stuff up quickly.
Made plugs/molds for all the parts.
So, for true, build from scratch custom. It will cost a few bucks. Have to find a qualified 'fabricator'
Good luck. I bet something that will work is out there now?

Funny thing about the Deuce, bikini fairing; could have bought some Sporty tanks for cheap as the plugs
look just like a standard Sportster tank.

Been offered a good number for my FXDR. Thinking hard about selling? Would pull the custom fairing
(and fork spats) off.
Fatboy, 18'+ or a Rocket III are on my short list. Also like the Fatbob.
Would make bodywork for an HD.
Would just rock a Raocket III GT :-)

Search, 'custom fairing for Fatboy. All kinds of stuff.
I also look to the race bike; (Airtech, for example) to see if there is something I can get, then modify to taste.
Very lucky to have metal and woodworking shop/tools to fabricate anything I can dream up.
