Are you ready to compromise?

After all these "funny" replies here is one serious one. It is based on presumption that you want to do your full fairing mod in order to get rid of a lot of wind on the long trip and not because you like the look ;-). Consider this:

Buy H-D detachable windshield for your bike
Buy Softail chrome wind deflectors (OEM# 58125-90B) and fabricate the way how to connect it with the windshield holders so that it is removable together with the windshield.
Buy H-D Touring front fork air baffle (OEM# 58520-79TC) and fabricate the way how to connect it to the lower triple tree.

This way you should get rid of the most of the annoying wind, but still have reasonable amount of wind to feel good - and the bike will hopefully also look good enough

. This is what I plan to put on my SG Custom when going to European Harley Festival in Saint Tropez in May (850 miles one way).

Cant do has no place in the pursuit of your bikes style and the true & slow evolution it takes so for those who put 10 miles a year or to those who dont count cause they ride everywhere on two or three wheels year around and the majority in between , your bikes your claim and his or hers bike is theres so to the fairing guy who rides like a savage fairing the S#!T out of that bobber and let your self & whats possible be your guide and let the critics blahh blah blah there days away saying "You cant do this, you didnt do that right? So I politely say styfle it mister rule maker.What are you my mudda. Love RULES SUCK!

Your front tire beats ***. What do you have on there? Size/model etc.

Funny thread to read. I have to wonder how many of those guys that were bashing the OP back in 06 are now riding Street Glides.

Lowers

I have Memphis shades Lowers on my 09 FXD along with a HD quick detach windshield. They work great together no buffeting, I have them on now, I commute to work 35 miles each way, it's been raining here in Seattle for 2 weeks straight.
When it's nice out they come off in about 5 minutes

Front end is a stock take-off from a Softail Fat Boy FLSTF ... the wheel is from a Heritage and tire is stock replacement Dunlop (forget the specs) ...
