Best deal for quarter fairing?
Hey just wanted to know if anyone knew where to get the best deal on a Quarter Front Fairing for my 2007 Super Glide. Iv looked everywhere and cant find the right one. Or maybe someone on here has one for sale, I live in Cincinnati and no one around here really knows what one looks like. Thanks

A good place to start might be to have a look at Google pics to determine which brand you like. Once you know the brand, just shop it around on line.

Well then you might scroll this thread starting at the last page with the most current posts: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...pic-s-667.html
Look through the pics and see who has that particular fairing. Then send them a PM asking their opinion.
BTW, the Rifle Roadster's a real nice fairing IMO. I installed one on my FXR a few months back and really like it. It's a very well built unit and mounts very secure.
Good luck in your search.

Thanks that's probably what ill do, I havnt seen one where I live so don't know. iv read about the fairings being thin and shaky in the wind.. Yea I like the rifle roadster too. I had actually planned on getting both and just switching them out every once in a while, change the look. I like all the fairings really.

I plan on a Rifle Roadster for my 2007 FXDL. What I like most is the ability to switch out their windscreens. They come with a standard 15" but for another $74 you can add their bubble (cafe) screen. This would give me a touring and sport option depending upon my mood or season. They also mount well using the HD quick release clamps too so running naked is always another quick option.

I went through a few different ones before I got my rifle Roadster.
I will never change it. Works and looks awesome.

You might try DynamicDyna.com. Their website is easy to use and you can order the whole kit for the 49mm front end and add a roaddawgs windscreen if you want.
With that said, I did install the Ridle Roadster a few weeks ago and I am very happ with it. But the HD 1/4 fairing from dynamic dyna was my second choice.

I've had a few different ones, and I would say before price, consider function, because as with all the other mods we do, if you're not stoked on it and it isn't serving its intended purpose, you'll just have to purchase something else that will.
I have not had the Gauntlet fairing, but it looks similar in size to an HD quarter fairing. I will say I did not feel like the HD quarter fairing alone did too much to help with the wind. I had originally purchased a fairing to try and block some of the wind on long trips to cut down on fatigue. I found that the HD quarter fairing along with the Road Dawgs windscreen was a good combination for me- helped block far more wind and make my long days a little easier.
Since then I have had a FXRT fairing (way more trouble than it was worth), a replica FXDXT fairing, back to the HD 1/4 fairing, and now a JD customs FXDXT fairing. Out of all of them, I think a T-sport style fairing has been the best for the way I like to ride- which is mostly long day trips down the coast, or 90 mph on the open freeway on the weekend. The T sport fairings, being a little wider and generally taller than the HD quarter fairings, block far more wind. As for budget, there are now many companies that make the T sport fairings. I cannot speak to the quality of the fiberglass of any except for JD and Conley, which are both fine. Here is a cheaper one I just found on eBay:
