But after seeing the death star in person and speaking to the owner about it, the faring has grown on me. Really considering it from http://www.deviantfabrications.com/ I like that its unique and functional, still go fast and split lanes with more storage and allot less wind blast........ Not to many people rocking this setup on a newer dyna.... looks good done right.
I like my FXR the way it is for the most part. May lose the fender struts, and get an aftermarket rear fender to chop up, but, I'm happy.

The Dyna on the other hand, yeah, I keep going back and forth between the TSport fairing and bags, and the FXRT fairing with Tsport bags. I would have to be able to keep the highway pegs, and use the lowers on the RT fairings. So... Yeah....

But, I only get the weird looks and comments on the FXR every so often.

Now, my wife is after her MC license, and wants her own bike., so who knows...

That is a beautiful bike. I think I know have a clue as to what my next Dyna will look like. Thanks for posting the pics. It's cool to see what's out there beyond our own horizon.

Glad I checked this thread out, I saw many people saying easterners don't get it, but I'm from jersey and I think that bike is f***ing sick! I used to not really like fairings and bags, but lately I have even been thinking the next bike I get will probably be a blacked out road glide, they're really growing on me.

It's not a "look". That is a FXRT. Production bike from the 80s. Better paint, and goodies, but....

Either way....

Yeah old thread who cares. I'm liking the look of this bike more and more. But what I like better is how functional it must be. Anybody run a FXRT fairing like this and a T-Sport quarter? Would like an informed comparison. Thanks

Sorry bud, it is a "look", just like my bike is a look that suits me and nobody else has to like it.

I guess I don't follow. It's a function over form, that Harley produced back in the 80s.

Most people couldn't stand the "look" of the FXR frame, too foreign.

But, I guess it's a look, as much as a Road Glide, or UltraClassic is.

Either way, to each his own. I don't know how I feel about it personally, so no skin off my back.
