Default More Fairing Advice

Now that I've decided to start looking at a quarter fairing I could use some advice on what to look for. I'll need one that will mount to a 49mm fork. Good experiences, bad experiences, anything you'd do differently if you were to do it again. Thanks in advance!

I would only buy a Rifle. I had a Ness and the quality is not even close...

For the 49mm forks the rifle is the best choice looks great. I put the Harley 1/4 on my fxdx and love it

IMHO i think the HD 1/4 fairing or the Conely's narrow glide fairing with the louvers look best...

I have a rifle and love it, it also allows you to change out shield heights which can be nice. The draw back is, its not quick release. (if you need it to be)
