Question FXDF Fairing

Has anyone seen a 1/4 fairing for a Fat Bob? I'm fine with catching heat from everyone who thinks these are dumb, but I like the look. They are available for every other dyna it seems, just wondering if anyone had modded a Ness to fit? Or attempted at molding their own?

Thanks

I think it would be trick! if you could cut out the opening for the duel headlight and fill in the rest with some glass! that would be trick! i can not see it being that hard... but i think it wold look awesome! hell where you live? maybe i can help you

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm not experienced with fiberglass work, so any help would be great. I think it'd be a sweet addition, definitely wouldn't see many around!

Why not go the easy route...swap the dual headlight set up for a single, then go for a Ness wideglide fairing. Would look trick!

Thought about the single headlight, but just can't part with the duals. I'll keep doing some homework on this...I really want to make it happen. Both of you guys have some pretty slick bikes, good work!

I think your screwed unless you fab something. I did a search a while back and you dont have many options unless you go to a single light.

I am going to get a 7" x 7" bullet, or something like that when I find one at a Harley garage sale. No way I am buying a new one.

I would look at the metric bikes. A lot of them have the dual headlight so maybe that would be a start in the right direction. I know my friend had an 89 FZR 600 and it had a nice little fairing with dual headlights.

Good luck,

Thanks for the compliment Fontana..I appreciate it.

Now, I did find this dual headlight fairing..i dare you to make it work

Seriously tho, this came from a buel aftermarket site and appear to have some blanks that may be of interest to you.
