I agree nice ride. If you don't mind what kind of air cleaner cover is that? It looks like diamond plate in the picture.

Thanks for your opinions guys. I'll probably try it without the extensions one of these days. I'll have to reroute the clutch cable as well. My CC is to long and was in the way of moving the fairing any closer to the trees.

Home made A/C cover. Yup, aluminum diamond plate painted black.

I think the NightRod fairing looks good on a Dyna. Small and compact. It's all you really need... Got pics from any other angles?

Looks pretty sweet. Still debating on a small fairing myself...

I've got one of those and am wondering what kind of brackets you made. I'm thinking just the headlight could secure it but it wouldn't be very stable at speed. Any tips?
Your bike looks good.

First off all, that look was arounf WAY before SOA so know your history. Second of all, Hogrida probably knows more about wrenching and customizing than you do. So get your **** straight before you start flaming!

The brackets don't support the fairing. The fairing is mounted to the headlight and the headlight is mounted to my brackets which are bolted to the stock headlight mount. if that makes sense.
The brackets are the same ones I use for tank lifts. Just a couple of pieces of stainless 1" x 1/8" bar stock with a hole in either end.
