Default Rifle Roadster on A Blackline

Here is my Rifle Roadster Fairing on my 2011 Blackline. It took about 8 weeks to get but I think it's worth it. It's fairly easy to install but they don't send clamps for the forks and I still have to think of a way to attach it on the bottom around the light.

My bike had some speakers mounted on the handle bars that I never used and they was held on by 1 inch pipe clamps. I removed the speaks and slid these down so my adjustable brackets could attach. It worked perfect. So I will get some detailed pictures in case anyone else wants to use my method. The instructions for this is a joke. Still have 1 bracket that goes under the light that does nothing.

I ran it down the road. 35 degrees here today and the only thing getting wind was my forehead. I can tell it's really going to knock the wind out of my face.

That fairing looks great on the Blackline. Step back and take a few pics of the whole bike.

I forgot to mention the stock headlight wire is too short once you extend this out with the supplied brackets. I cut and soldered the wires about two inches to fix this.
