not my piece of cake, but if you're interested in a fairing for the FB you might be interested in the work of Phil Birch; http://www.philbirch.nl/index.html
he's working on a custom fairing for the FB which probably be finished before the end of this year, you can check the progress at;

I'd been tracking on Phils project but it's been ongoing for a while...Its going to look fantstic when its done but shipping cost to this side of the pond would make it cost prohibitive for my budget.

@ Puffdiddy, yep...signal relocation is next (though they're actually still visible head on)

I'll give ya more pics if you share more pics of that hottie in your avatar! LoL

I'm still working on sorting out the brackets. I think the quick disconnects can work if I make 'em work. This definately isn't an off the shelf project...

Here ya go....

Thanks Norb, would have been less work if I would have converted to a 7 inch headlight. For those that roll Switchbacks, it should be an off the shelf fit as they share the same front end as a road king.

Thanks FTW. I got the idea when I was in the Bay and saw road kings with it. Perfect for me because it's not oversized like a batwing but it offers the same benefits.

Are you saying that if I had the 7in headlight conversion the Bob Dron fairing would bolt right up to the Fat Bob?

Negative ghost rider, the light would fit without trimming the fairing but you'll still need to mod or design something to mount it to the bike.
