Blackline fairing
Blackline fairing
Hey guys,
I searched for some time now and I thought i saw a post with an Arlen Ness direct bolt on fairing on a Blackline. I ran into the Nightrod post and a post about Rifle. I stopped into the dealership and looked at one on 2014 street bob, looks like it will work other than fork tube brackets. Tubes on the blackline are 41mm there must be some brackets out there that will work, any idea what will work?

I really like the looks of that fairing and that is the part number that I took with me yesterday, but I really would like a 1/4 fairing. I think that turn signal relocation brackets and some SS exhaust clamps might be the answer to mounting the Arlen Ness fairing on my bike.
I ended up settling on the night rod visor. But for the life me I cannot remove the 3 acorn nuts located on the back of the headlight bucket, I want to make sure I mark everything correctly the first time and only drill once 
Any advice?

good luck getting them off their loctited on and made on to the rubber mounts. I ended up just getting new stainless steel bolts and acorn nuts and rubber pucks at lowes for like $15. the way I did it was to use the head light cup and marked the three holes then ended up drilling them out bigger then the acorn nuts so they will go thru the back mount. then put the light back together with new nuts, bolts and rubbers then sandwich the headlight between the fairing and back mount had to drill the holes out a little. its a pain in the *** to put back together with the oring on fairing but can be done. I did have to put a washer on each side of the mount on the the triple tree to spread the arms out cause the slots just a little bigger and the fairing would rock at high speed.
I wonder who thought it was a good idea to use red loctite on the studs that are rubber mounted... Blue would have sufficed. 2 torn mounts and one that decided to stay in place, time to get the dremel out and start cutting.

what else would you expect when they put 3 bolts thru the light for no reason. had to vise grip all mine to get them off.
