Rifle Fairing on Order
I've seen so many windshields on a Dyna, but I've never liked the way they look. Something about the small headlight and windshield just don't look right to me, IMHO! I've wanted the protection a small fairing would offer and even thought about a setup like ICECAPS. Just too much adapting for the 49mm forks.
Arlen Ness offers the Cafe Racer Fairing, similar to the ones on SOA. But again, wanted just a tad more protection. Even thought about the Memphis Bat Wing, but that small headlight again. (Saw a chopper with a painted M-BW today, looked sharp)
Anyway, I decided on a Rifle Fairing, and placed the order last night. A Rifle Roadster with the Bronze Tint 15" windshield. Originally wanted the Bubble Fairing, but decided I would go with the standard windshield. The fairing is a bit pricey $$$.
I had it painted the color of my bike, Brilliant Silver Metallic. I'll post Pics of the fairing as for quality of product and details of installation, and how it works. I was given about 3 weeks before I receive. BTW, Dennis was helpful with my ordering process.

They do have a different fairings. I've always wanted the larger 7" light, but HD now has that, BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN, LED lamp that should provide more than ample light.
BTW, had I gone to the larger lamp, I was going to ask for it to be modified.

The 15" provides protection like a regular windshield does...the bubble actually takes a lot of pressure off you, but still leaves you "in the wind".
I know because I've had the experience of both.
My brother (LOUDUDE) has the same color fairing you are getting:
I have the same size:

We got both of the shields off Ebay, then ordered the mounting kits from Rifle...both painted somewhere else.
They are really nice fairings with a couple different options. My brother's came with a clear tall shield that he can put on for long trips if he wanted to, and I may grab a short one for summer.

Appreciate the pics. Both setups look great. I'm still thinking about ordering the bubble, only $84, with the dark smoke tint. That way I could have different looks.
Love those Corbin bags. They're next. The Corbin bags are about $1800, and the HD hardbags are about $1500. For the extra $300 you get more volume and I think a better bag.
BTW, where did the spoiler come from? I like that much better than the HD spoiler.

The Le TeeBikini Fairing
Here's another fairing option I found.
It's a Japanese made product. At least it's not 'Made in China'.
