I'm running a Dyna T-sport (FXDXT) 1/4 fairing on my Street Bob and I love it. It does work great for wind deflection but I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea. The SB was bought as a platform which was the closest to how I wanted to start my project, a sport tourer.

I have the same speakers as you. Where did you mount them to? I currently have them mounted to the two allen head bols on the top clamp, but, I'm going to the same mini apes as you, and they won't fit without relocating? Thanks.

I have an FXDXT, with the optional taller windshield. Does all I want of it. When I want more, or ride two up, I get behind the batwing on my dresser!

I do and I like the look and function. It doesn't really block a lot of wind if you sit straight up, but it does seem to streamline the light and gauges a fair amount. Also it works great for leaning foward into/behind it and blasting through the twisties... then again I'm used to old Norton cafe racers. Now I just gotta get some lower/straighter bars.
For long trips I throw on my quick detachable windscreen... it gives lots more wind protection... especially in the cold.

Sorry for the slight hijack of the thread ----
Ron,
Your bike looks great. Did you change the barrels or paint them. I've got an 01 with the same colors (except I put a wideglide tank on it) and wanted to clean up the barrels by rattle canning them black. George

The comment that these amps run hot does not apply (so far) for this system. It always runs cool to the touch and has enough juice to power the speakers to a point where I can hear them at 80+mph. The sound quality at that speed isn't great, though. I've had this system for approx 6 months and it has not glitched on me yet.
