Freight Train Nacelle without cap
Hey everyone,
I have a 2008 Fatboy and am going to be installing a HD freight train nacelle on it. I wanted to use different risers and don't think I'm going to be using the cap piece for the top of this.
I was just wondering if anyone had any pictures of what it looks like from the top where the cap would be. Just interested in how its going to look as I heard some say it looks better without it, but was just curious how it looks.
Thanks for any help.

my opinion, its gonna look like crap. unless you want to go with the street slammer type bars (integrated risers) and get the specific cap for that.
otherwise, its gonna look like you left a piece off. and the cover also helps to align the 2 halves of the nacelle in the right position.

See, now I have read other threads that it actually looks better without the cap because the cap looks like one big slap of chome with no design to it. I guess I am just going to have to try a couple things and see how it looks for myself.
Thanks anyways.

Installed most of Nacelle on 07 Fatboy last night; very disappointed in cap - POS. They cut out a square notch in the cap to allow space between and the round lap-joint of the two pieces of the nacelle. Up close, it really looks tacky! If not for that, would look very finished. Other issue is I just bought a 14" Windvest - very hot, but the cap is about 5/8" too wide for mounting - big bummer. Cheers, Kevin.
