I think it could be done relatively simple seeing as you already have a smaller headlight. Maybe a wide glide fairing would work. On a side note, the Irish guy with the big scar on his face was at Neptune's Net yesterday on his Dyna that was all SOA'd out.

The OP likes it and that's all that counts....I suggest you get ahold of the shop the shop that set up the bikes for the show. Should be able to find it with a little research.

I feel the same way. Hated the SOA fairings at first but they started to really grow on me. I just bought a night rod that has the same fairing from Arlen Ness. The missus is laughing her *** off at me because she thinks that the fairing is what sold me on the bike. She calls it my little biker soap opera



And from the front...

I think they look cool . They aren't for anything much more than looks . Like someone all ready said, they're too small to be useful . I'm eventually going to add one to my bike . Here's a decent priced one . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Arlen...Q5fAccessories

Oh , yeah.... do a search for "Last Saint" . He has possibly the baddest bikes on the forum . I think also , On the show... they mostly use Wild1 bars.

Actually, mine hides a stereo, hehe. So it does serve a purpose. I love it.

Here's a couple of better pics of the fairing now that the bike is in my possession...

Default Nor Cal chiming in on the HD Quarter Fairing

I live in Northern CA and I've seen a lot of guys riding with quarter fairings. I have one on my 04 Dyna and it's great for Highway. Knocks the wind off my chest and makes it more comfortable to ride. I'm a fan for functional reasons.

I was surprised at how much it actually deflected. Keeps the wind off my chest and makes for a pleasant ride even at higher speeds.

That's not a fairing, its a headlight cowl.

dmp had it right (page 1 this thread) what he posted, but there are sure a lot of others here throwing out horseshit guesses based on nothing but a TV show or what someone else told them I reckon... good lord !

If you're going to have an opinion, at least have an informed one.

There are several other [OEM] fairings been around a long time including Rifle, Hoppe, Corbin, another big one I can't remember the name of right now but you see them on older bikes and then there are always the few newbies to round out the picture.

Believe it or not there are choices beyond what you see on TV or your latest greatest accessories catalog.
