There are several contributors to this thread I’ll call the BIKE POLICE that don’t think it’s right to put a fairing on a Fatboy/Heritage. Let me tell you I paid my hard earned cash for my bike and nobody tells me what I do or don’t do to my bike. What is right for you may not be right for me. Hell that’s what the whole Harley experience is about is individuality and doing WTF you want to your bike. If you want a cookie cutter bike then go down to your local Honda dealer and they’ll be glad to sell ya one! I'll get off my soap box now.......

And WTF, there are such small differences between the softails, you can make one look just like the other with just a couple stupid pieces of trim. Modding is the only real form of self expression on a bike.
I say do it.

i think everyone is entitled to their opinion as well as what their bike should look like... what i want for my bike is not what you or someone else may want for your bikes... that is what makes us individuals and our bikes a part of our personality... i like hearing all of your opinions whether you like what i want to do or not...

A detachable fairing that utilizes the Moco detach hardware is one of my planned mods for this winter on my Fatboy, for sure.
I already have the detachable bags, luggage rack, and windshield.
I love the Fatboy for its stripped down looks. But it also provides me a versatile platform for comfortable trips as well as that stripped down boulevard look I bought it for. I can go from solo running with pals to touring in about 5 minutes flat and that includes polishing my finger prints off the detachables chrome.
The detachable fairing will offer me a little more comfort on long runs... mainly good tunes from good speakers.
High-five to all you Fatboy owners!
