There are two ways of approaching this, either using 90s secondhand parts, or buying one of the new batwings for recent RKs. I have an old glass-fibre batwing on my FLHS, but also bought and tried to fit a contemporary batwing. I gave up on that because I wasn't prepared to wrestle with the wiring and different instruments, etc!
This conversion is completely doable Amckee2. The speedo unit is the same as a Flht of that year. Ebay everything, it may take a few weeks to get everything together. Friend of mine did the exact thing to a 90 Flhs a couple years ago. Everyone can tell you what you need, but get you a parts manual for the 92 Flhtcu. My manual covers the 90 model. Everything is basically the same from 90 -95 as far as the fairing and gauges are concerned. There is a complete breakdown of what you will need. The hardest thing to find is a inner fairing in good shape for that year. harley wants $600 for a new one. A oil sending unit will be needed to work the oil gauge. any radio will fit the older inner fairing radio box, I have a pioneer from walmart in mine. Speakers are 4" I think. not sure
That's very kind, but it would be a bit too much bling for me, thanks!
Hey Graham... a bit too much bling, can be a GOOD thing! I'd snap up that chrome instrument bezel pronto... that one and Bertha's may be the only two left in the whole world!
Fairing? We don' need no stinkin' fairing just to get tunes! Bertha has a powered iPhone/iPod handlebar mount (not shown), and two 100 watt per channel amps - one under each side cover. One for the 4 1/2" front speakers, and another for the 6 1/2" two-way Kenwoods in the Tour Pak Dragonfly Concepts pods. She's no Buster... but she can hold her own pumpin' out the tunes!
Hello,
I have been lurking on this board for some time and have learned much information. I have a '92 FLHS and noticed your batwing fairing and would love to pick up the same tpe. I'd seen it once on an old co-workers '70s model. Can you help point me in the right direction?
Any help would be appriciated,
Richie
