Batwing Fairings on a Wide Glide

Can some of you with batwings on your wideglide please post some images with the type of wing and your mounting method? I have searched but most of the images I have found are on fatbob front ends and other dynas...not wide glides.

Front and side view images would be most helpful

Thanks!

Here is mine, it is a generic fairing similar to the quadzilla, as for mounting had to make my own with 2 turn signal relocating kits and stock upper tree mounts, I did have to make my own fairing brackets, as the fairing was made for a roadking, I also installed a 7 inch fatboy light, this setup comes off in less than 5 minutes

You do realize the Fat Bob uses a wide glide front end, except A) the tubes are shorter and B) the dual headlight.

Does everyone got the bug? I thought I was the only one. I would really like to get a fairing with some tunes for those longer hauls. I think it was Dead Center (one of the sponsors) that had some nice fairings and I think they are in the process of making them for dynas.

Tales less than 5 min to reattach, I bought the fairing in primer for 200.00 on ebay, bought a JVC Media deck also on ebay for 77.00 and the polk speakers were 68.00 a pair, deck is very loud even at 75mph or 140kmh, as for paint I used the HD vivid black in rattle can then used my 7 inch polisher to smooth it out and get a shine
