putting a fairing on an flt
I want to put a batwing fairing on my 1991 flt. The one with the big plastic box on the handlebars. Is that stuff pretty well interchangeable. Any crazy **** I should know about. Any help is appreciated

I did it on my 85 FLT. I got a 1970-something batwing on ebay for $120.oo with original mounting hardware and it bolted right on... no problem. I sold the bike last year after i got my 2010 cop bike.
I miss the evil evo sound, so I hang out here every now and then...
but.. I don't know why it won't work on your FLT.

In taking off your sharknose fairing to fit an old batwing like mine you will need a headlamp/instrument mounting system of some sort. You may be better off looking for a batwing from an early Evo that mounts all those in it.

I did it the other way, on my '90 Ultra I went from the batwing to the tour glide fairing. (To each his own, I like the tour glide fairing better) Really was not all that hard. Lots of wiring changes, if you're good with wiring it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

For fear of more stupid questions. I've bought all this stuff in pieces. So I'm probably missing stuff here and there. But I cant' figure out for the life of me how the outer bolts to the inner. There's nothing on the outer to attach to. anybody know how they go together.
