That's pretty God damn cool Pirate Boy. Nice job.

 

I like the look, any pics from behind ?

 

Yesterday there wee a couple of interesting links to 2 different types of fairings. Where did they go?/ Can you please repost them???


Peace,

Heres the only pic i have of it from the seat area. it still has the temporary bracket on ( not there anymore i made the new one ). I just picked up a set of turn signal mirrors to put on and see how it looks. Lower profile an more lights LOL

Ride safe

Im not great at writing things up but here goes

the bracket is fairly simple. I used memphis shades quick detach brackets from my windshield as a start.I thought that would be good because its adjustable up and down a few inches and tilts forward and back a bit. The faring i got was from http://www.granpas.com/Caddy%20Fair.htm . Best price i found and granpa is a person to deal with

I used the strapping steel with the holes in it to get the initial measurements. then used 3/16 flat bar to make the final bracket, one piece that connects the windshield brackets then 2 going from the top mounts point of the windshield bracket to the mounting points on the faring.

I clamped everything together to get the position right with my headlight. I'm thinking about adding another set of braces in the middle of the upper bracket to help wit a bit of the vibration in the windshield. The stock headlight would throw my measurements off, but i was thinking about making a plate where the headlight sets in the fairing and then mounting a heritage style headlight in it.

Once i did that i tack welded it then reput the fairing on to make sure it was right. I did change the way the lower bracket was mounted from the pics i took ( ill try and get some new pics ) . It works better and mounts cleaner. The lower mounting bracket is a small piece of angle and a piece of flat bar

Long winded post but i hope that helps. Any? just ask ill try and help. Also if your near the Pa Md Wv area id be glad to lend a hand with yours

 

You might checkout swcycleaudio.com they make one for dynas with radio included their gallery shows a 31 pictures of an fxd looks good. Got me thinkin about one it would be alot cheaper than a new streetglide thats what the wife says anyway.

 

For those with an experience with them:
Do you think the clamps used with the detach windshields would be adequate to fasten the batwing type fairing to the forks and be safe on the highway? to clarify, I am asking about the 4 clamps that hold onto the 49mm forks on my street bob. or even 6 of them.

 

My friend sent me this, but It doesn't fit on a dyna.

I was gonna put a fatboy front end on mine and buy this fairing with stereo for $799....
