That fairing kinda takes away from the angular look that makes the Fat Bob to me.

The final product looks much better.

I tried to link it here but it seems that isn't allowed or it isn't working.

Anyhow if you search for "dougzcustom" on Instagram, you'll see it.

Yeah, I think you have to decide prior to your bike purchase what you really want out of the ride. I'm in the less is more camp, no bags no fairing no audio system. I do believe you will see some fairings come out but these bikes are first year big changes the aftermarket has to digest.

I know what I want out of my ride. That is why I got the fat bob. I'm just curious as to what options are out there. I would rather go without music than buy a touring bike.

Here's my bike with the Plex Audio system. Unfortunately, the bracket that comes with their universal system cannot mount under the triple tree which the direction calls for. The bracket gets in the way of re-installing the factory headlight. Instead, I mounted the bracket on top of the triple tree.
I just hope now that when I receive my Conley’s T-Sport fairing that everything will fit.
