Default Thoughts on road glide fairing on a Dyna
So I Have been toying around with the idea of putting a road glide fairing on my 2015 street Bob. I was wondering if there's anyone else who has had experience with this who could point me in the right direction. Also looking for people to add their pros and cons. thanks all

I would think using a twin bulb fairing like on the Road Glide would really over work the electrical system. May have to upgrade the stator to higher amperage output.

I'd go with an FXRT fairing over a road glide fairing personally. But I'm pretty sure cycle visions have a kit to mount road glide fairings on dynas.

Why? Does a Fat Bob have a different electrical system than any of the other Dyna's?

Just putting a generic Fairing from eBay on a 2010 VTX was enough for me cant imagine the headaches being involved with aa Harley Davison. Not saying it cant be done there are a few who have done it. With my VTX conversion after it was done the ride went south wobble at 70 mph, Good luck with your built

I made the brackets for a Rushmore Road glide fairing that are now being mass-produced and I will have them for sale right after the new year
