i could care less about whats on SOA. dont get me wrong, i like the club style, but i want the fairing for deflecting wind off me more than for its looks. but i think im going to end up putting a set of west coast MX tbars on after the fairing. i love the mx bars.

Check out the Rifle roadster fairing....
Fairing is $225 from New Castle HD
Bung King brackets are $100
Clamps $ 100

Not sure where you get $600. I got a deal on the brackets so I'm only in about $375.

i was joking i have been riding harleys since 1985 , we used to run emgo fairings and cut down vetter fairings , this is my first ness fairing but i did get it for 130 dollars after my daughter dropped the emgo i was going to run and broke the lexan shield

i wasnt trying to sound like a dick. just my input. some people want their bikes to look like SOA bikes. i liked the look before that show even came out. the problem now is people see your bike like that and they think your trying to be like the boys on SOA. kinda sad really.

why is it sad. there is a style of bike shown on tv that people like. thats how the whole chopper craze came up. was it sad when someone was inspired by a chopper they saw on tv to build one? no, so why is it sad to see people like the 1/4 fairing look.

usually that look means blacked out, upgraded brakes, raised suspension, thin bars and good motor upgrades

ie, some wind protection, fast, stops quik, great lane splitter and great ground clearance.

that sounds like a bike many would like to ride
