Default FXST fairing

I have an 07 Softail standard. Does anyone know if there is a batwing fairing that will fit these? Everybody thinks I'm nuts, but I want to make it into a bagger.

Your bike should be what you want, don't listen to others. I have my 2008 FATBOY set up for touring and I love it.

I would be worried about a large fairing with that skinny front wheel, I have a 07 Custom and just putting a windshield on it makes it seem like you added a sail to the front end at 7o and up. Pretty scary stuff on the interstate. If you want a bagger just trade for a bagger.

Check my album. Did a lot more distance riding and wanted a radio but no NOT like the handling of the touring bikes. Bike is stable to more than adequate highway speeds.

Regarding a Batwing on a FX front end youre' going to have to ovecome the mounting. you can put the batwings on a FLST if yo come across a cheap front end that might be a way to go.

Have you found anything? I want to do the same thing with my wifes bike. Just a small fairing with a low windshield to break the wind for her.

I just put the tsukayu on my Deluxe. Love it. I had to modify my existing HD "fang" lowers to work with the fairing but together there is no buffetting and the ride is great. The radio is awesome and I have no problem hearing it at speeds up to 90 - sure i can hear it above that as well but have not tried.

You arent nuts at all...and if so, then we are both nuts!!

I am converting my 04 softail standard to a bagger and here is my list of mods to complete this conversion:
Fatboy front/rear fenders
18" CVO Softail Convertable wheel w/ 130 tire
Bassani true duals with Rush 3.5" slash down mufflers
Touring hard bags (I am fabbing my own version of the cycle visions brackets)
Street Glide rear fender extension w/ LED tri bar light
$250 radio batwing fairing off ebay (I had to buy 4 of the windshield quick clamps, and fab up new brackets)

Check out my albums for some progress pics. Tomorrow I will take pics with the exhaust on and done. Next step is the brackets for the bags then paint the fairing and bags to match my tins.
