Default Lower fairings

Ok seen a load of batwing pics on a fatbob but anyone running lower fairings on thier fatbob?
I think it will add to make the bike look even more aggressive plus I have Harley hard leather panniers so should make it look more tourer too
Here's a mock up pic

How do you propose to operate the rear brake in that set-up? Not feasible.

I have the engine bar on the bike already and I believe the pedal would clear the fairings inside but with that said any way I plan to put mid controls on it, just bought a cheap secondhand set off E(vil)bay
I find the forwards just to far forward and the brake pedal is a reach

If only I could, I was lucky to have got this fatbob
If my lottery numbers come in Id be straight downy dealer and buy a street glide

I put them on the wifes lowrider (mid controls) and she didn't like them, so I put them on my Fat Bob; lost too much ground clearance, so I narrowed the engine guard 6", PC'd it black and put it on my Fat Bob. The lowers hang from the rafters now; future??? BTW; I used the "earlier" lowers, not the current ones...
Buy an FLH? Too big for me...only thing more comfortable is the seat; everything thing else is a nope.
