You need some hard bags.

Full size fairings just never look right to me without hard bags. Don't know why, guess it's just a go all or nothing type deal.

Looks good! Maybe grips, foot pegs, PowerVision tuner, billet shifter/brake levers, billet linkage, custom seat, analog speedo & tach, Tri Bar taillight, etc… the list just never seems to end!

I agree about the full fairing requiring bags but if you're gonna stay with the FXDF rear fairing then look at the Tsukayu hard bags that have the rear signal cut outs.

Izzy, I think you nailed the look on yours.

I'm about to do the DK tank lift on my fat bob and have their BMX pegs already so I'll second that. Been wondering about the batwing? How's your experience been? Is there clearance for higher bars?

How noticeable are the hard points on the bike where the fairing mounts when it is off? Can you post pics?

How much better is the fairing than the windshield?

dont have a pic with my fairing off. but here's one i found on the web

it's more noticeable if you go with the black kit. ( the round parts are black on silver clamp)

here's my take on that build

still missing new seat (road zepplin for dyna) and luggage rack ( waiting on seat to arrive before i bolt it on), and led turn signal mirrors ( i'm lazy sometimes)

edit: yes i know she needs a washing.

Wonder why it couldn't work with the HD QD clamps? Is there a significant difference in wind protection with the fairing over the windshield? More/less buffeting, etc..
