Default batwing fairing

Hey all....Still trying to decide about a fairing and leaning towards a batwing such as Reckless or some other reputable brand....does anyone know if these will fit over the headlight nacelle on a 2006 Road King as it seams wider than the fairing opening which is usually 8 1\2 inches.....

The manufacturers' websites will probably have that information. Memphis Shades may offer a Batwing fairing.

I don't know about an 06 but I have a Reckless fairing for my 98 RK. It fits well and I am very happy with it.

I've got a Chinese, eBay special fairing on my RK. Got about $185 into the whole package and it fits my headlight.

I love my batwing....... ( to the theme of batman )....seriously, not a lot to invest and a whole different riding experience from riding open face. This is the first ride I've had a fairing on .....I love it ! It's for some and not others.

Thanks for the input guys.... I've been away for a while, but in my absence I found a brand new Memphis Shades batwing with the trigger locks and windshield for 250.00 so I jumped on it. It will do until I can make a permanent decision on whether or not to go with an audio set up, at which time I'll have to decide on another batwing with audio ability, or go with my desire to install a Road Glide fairing....thanks again for all the replies.

And by the way.....she looks great with her new wings...
