I've ridden well over 100k miles with a quarter fairing(BMW R90S),for my Superglide I chose a Sportech windscreen because I wanted a bigass fatboy headlight. I'm still looking for a quarter fairing that would fit with my headlight. The one I saw required that you rig your own mounts etc.,anyway this little windscreen does the job and I've had the bike over 100mph with NO wiggle.

Coming from the bagger side, I hadn't ridden a non fairing bike in awhile. Now I can do 80-90 comfortably. Now I got to get rid of the high speed wiggle. Like I said best thing you can do to a Dyna if you want to go long distances.

Looks Great! Good job!

The fairing is almost a Dyna evolution for some riders that do long distance frequently at high speeds.

I'll never look back ...

That's on my list.
1. Paint fairing
2. Install black bars, mirrors, and levers (got 'em)
3. Install FXDX shocks (got 'em) need longer jiffy stand
4. Heavier fork oil & or emulators (gotta buy)
5. Chassis stabilizer (gotta buy)
6. Install black 2:1 pipes (gotta buy)
