Default Obese Robert Fairing

When I was at home in Nor Cal, I saw a few Road Kings rolling with this fairing and thought I'd give a go at modding it to fit my Fat Bob.

It's made for a 7 inch light and I initially thought that I'd just do the headlamp conversion but a few of my road dogs convienced me that it'd be more trick if I kept the twins.

Did some dermal work to get the lamps to fit. Still need to trim it a bit more and also mod the brackets for a better fit.

Functionally, it takes the wind off of my chest but my mug still gets a full blast. I think I can solve that if I just angle it forward a bit more. More to follow....

Looks fantastic. Can you get some pics of your mounting hardware and pics from the seat. Do you think Harley quick disconnects could be used?
