Default Shark nose on an FXBB

I wanna put a road glide fairing on my FXBB. Has anyone tried this? I'm gonna buy the fairing off of bagger bros. I'm a welder fabricator and understand I'm getting myself into something but if there's some brave pioneers out there that want to offer advice I'm all ears. I haven't been able to find anything designed specifically for the FXBB yet other than that Sharknado fairing but that's only the outer. I want to install speakers and all. I haven't been able to find another thread on this topic either. Guess most people just toe the line and went and bought a road glide but I'm meant to be different even if it's a pain in the *** to be different 😎.

Get an engine guard. You might want to support the fairing with a support from engine guard to fairing, like how the Road Glides are designed.

Never heard of them but I'm liking what I see. Anyone have any experience with these? Seems very promising but based on the price for the audio package I'll probably skip on it and buy my own stuff to put in. I can't tell by the pictures if I'll have to cut my own holes or what so I'm gonna call customer service on Tuesday and see what's up. Will keep you all posted.

you will have to cut your own holes for audio, I chose not to. Love the fairing though
