Default 2018 FXFBS windshield options

Thoughts between these two, running it on a Tbar 12 inch:

I don't care for the conely's fairing all that much .. but same goes for the dougz one. The headlight on the fat bob's is difficult to work around without creating a monstrosity heh. IF i only had a choice, it would probably be the Dougz one without the windshield and color matched.

If money was no option, I'd do a headlight swap and go with the HD quarter fairing.

Most likely I'll roll without a fairing until something more appealing becomes available. I've got 11" hardcase performance risers coming with the 1" lucky dave's riser bars.

Yeah, not a fan of dougz, something is not right there. Conely's fits that big front fork better, more like it belongs. If you mess with the headlight its all over, you've lost its soul.

That's exactly one of the reasons why I got this bike and gave up my SGS. Loved the power, handling, and the brute look it gives. Just read so much bad stuff about the HD option for it. I guess we'll just wait and see, running naked for now.

A good full face helmet allows me to live without a window in the wind. Old school vs new school; totally hate open face helmets for so many reasons.
No music, no phone , no map; twist the throttle and don't look back.

I do not like either but that is just my opinion, I have a removable HD windshield and most of the time it is of the bike. It goes only on for really longer journeys with higher speed so that my neck does not hurt so much ....and does not take long to get on or off.
