Bit of a thread resurrection here, but I really like the look of that. Was toying with ordering the Dougz fairing or the Phil Birch fat bob fairing, but I found a cheap aftermarket BMW windscreen on eBay and have bought it.

Here's hoping I can make it work when it arrives. Wondering how to fit it though - maybe I should get a couple of pairs of the HD quick release windshield clamps and then try and fab a bracket up....

I am interested in seeing how this turns out adm, I don't ride a Fatbob, but I do know a few owners that might be interested in the finished results.

One of my friends, BMW rider, ordered a new fairing and just joked with my bike and the old fairing.

Fairing is from BMW R1100GS 94-99

Nonetheless, it looks like a great idea and is almost certainly going to get a couple of the
forum members doing some serious thinking..

Thanks!

Here's the BMW windshield just sat on the headlights and bars of my Bob. I think it's going to look pretty cool.

Now I just need to find a local shop to fab me some brackets to mount it.
