Kind of pricey aren't they. Check on the forum for mods to FL type fairing to fit to Dynas. It been done. Someone who know more will probably post. But for that price you could go with a Fat Boy front like me an have money left over.

I can't believe no one else has posted.

Jackyl put a FL style fairing on a Dyna front end. Thread title- Cheap Mans Streetglide Project on a Streetbob.

Pirate Boy's thread is - More Faring Pictures.

I just got a fairing with radio and 6x9 cutouts for $300 with shipping on eBay. It looks great. Specially for the money. I got to go the the dealer this weekend and get QD attachments. I will post how fitment went afterwards.
Also from ebay I have head unit, antenna wire, speakers, and unit cover coming, all for less than $225.

Making mounts and going with a Fat Boy headlight should not be very expensive for you if you decide to do it on your own.

Check Hoppe Industries at

They have batwing models with and without radio for narrow Dynas with 39mm forks and Sportsters. They use the HD quick disconnect hardware and the one without radio only weighs 7 pounds. Less than half the price of the one you posted.

I seriously considered one of these when putting mine on. I like the way the headlight mounts on the fairing , but i think its way to expensive compared to other fairings that are out there that would work. If im not mistaken that one is made for 39/41 mm forks so if you have the bigger tubes you'll have to fab up mounts .With that said it does look like a nice fairing and as a kit would make it easier than scrounging and searching for part but thats half the fun :-)

Thats a good deal on the one you got U-234. I searched and searched when i bought mine and it seems like you no sooner get something the prices drop on them everywhere lol. Still havent wired up a radio and speakers in mine yet :-) (somday after the other projects lol) I have mine off now getting ready to paint it finally along with some FLH bags

Good luck with your install

Peace

Thanks for the info guys. I am also looking to try and mount some street glide type bags to my bike. Do you think it would work?
