Just bought one online, will let you know how it goes.

I have never seen a windshield like this before and I have had my eye open for one for years.

Fingers crossed it doesn't turn out to be a dud!

I like the alien look, I like it better than a standard windshield. Thanks for posting

http://www.glide-pro.com

Their website says they are soon to be making a "cafe" style fairing for heritage, deluxe....

I have one on my roadking and it relieves wind pressure off the chest. It was painted to match and uses harley removeable hardware

The cost is a little extreme though...

I think it looks good on that bike. How does it work as a fairing? Sometimes the low fairings like that work but sometimes they just cause a lot of buffeting to riders head.

Default MS Bullet fairing arrived...

Here are some pics of the Bullet fairing on my 08 Fatboy. Fits nice and firm, no rattling or movement of any kind (have had her up to 100mph so far). Wind deflection good but need to take it on a longer run.

Can someone who has the bullet fairing give some dimensions for me so I can decide what handlebars to get.
#1- distance from the top of the gauge cluster to the lowest part of the fairing that hangs over the handlebars.
#2- what is the width at that lowest point
#3- what is the distance from the top of the gauge cluster to the very top of the fairing

I'm trying to decide if I can still get apes with this fairing and if so how wide to they have to be. If I have to get cruiser type bars, how tall can they be without hitting the fairing. Thanks

Hey Brad - can't get to the bike right now but I have 1.75 inch thick T-bars with 8 inch rise and 12.5 inch pull back - I will try and get some measurements tomorrow.

I still have my 10" round utility bag attached the bars underneath the screen (and still managed to fit a bag of five burgers in under the screen coming home last week!). Would have thought that apes would be a no go with this fairing though, even if they did fit not sure it would look right anyway.

Thanks good to know. Did you keep the stock cables for those t-bars? Also if you wouldn't mind PMing me the price and where you got the Burleigh bars from, was it straight from Burleigh? Thanks
