Default Fairing finally arrived... :)

So I've been wanting a fairing to make highspeed-cruising more comfortable.

I was looking at the Rifle roadster and the retro t-sport fairings. The only thing I did know, was that I wasn't gonna put the Dougz on....

For installing the Rifle I would have to convert to single headlight ( and taller bars for it to look good ), which made it too expensive.

Conely's make a very cool straight fit t-sport for the fat bob, but I red some people complaining about finnish and buffeting ( might not be an issue any more ), but I figured it wasn't worth the risk....

So I ended up ordering the Dougz anyways. The reason I didn't want the Dougz in the first place was that I didn't like the look of it. But looks wasn't the main reason for getting a fairing in the first place and people seemed to be very happy with the way it performed... So I ended up biting the bullet and put in an order earlier this summer....

Well it showed up this friday, so I went straight ahead and mounted it... I also moved the turnsignals under the tripletree and mounted some rubber forkboots while I was at it to compliment the look...

The fairing works very good, and looks way better in person, so I'm real happy...

At first I was a little bit pissed off, because the fairing didn't line up with the headlight, but it turned out the be the light that was crooked, so "Doug" actually did a better job than Moco...

My headlight is off just a smidge to the right - I think they may do that intentionally to help with lighting up the side of the road a little more to help you spot suicidal bambi. Fairing looks good - gives it a more menacing look when you're viewing it straight on.

I like it, how long did it take for you to get it after you put in your order? Also did you paint it or does it come black already?

Took a few weeks to get it, but I was aware of that. Seems like they have alot to do over at Dougz + it was during holidays.

Not painted yet, and looks surprisingly good in the raw finnish. Will be painted eventually though.....

My headlight was also tilted to the right... Don't really need that since we have sunlight 24/7 most of the ridingseason up here in northern Norway...

Damn dude, you've put together one very sexy fatty.

Doug is a stand up guy and his products are top notch.
