Thanks....makes sense, but where did you read about these new rules? Totally new to me.

I noticed it myself so I contacted a Moderator for an answer. I had also seen this thread in "Forum Issues" shortly after that.

After my thousand miles trip to Sturgis77. I realized that wind is the enemy. I never liked any windshield or any full fairing. Got this Quarter Fairing installed. No I can stay 85 mph without problems on freeways.



New Fairing mounted.

I'm with you on usually not liking the look of a windscreen. That said... looks good!

You bet, 1976 360T, my first love. Almost fully restored at this point.

Haven't seen a Brit style sportster before, even rear sets! Post a finished pic when you get it, please. I do the 2x4 under my jiffy stand, too, for my 1200. Won't trust a Chinese aftermarket, and Harley costs too much. Maybe I'll get tired of the inconvenience and pay up some day.
