Default Low profile headlight fairing

Hey guys, so I've been looking for this type of fairing with no luck. It seems impossible to get an answer on where these people got it. I own a 2022 Harley forty eight. I'm looking for one that is very low to the handle bars and its more of an aesthetic thing, not to deflect the wind. The first pic is the best representation of what I'm trying to do.

Seems like there is a company out of Japan but even then it doesn't look exactly like these although its close. I've seen a couple in the states but they look like they are for a 883 not the forty eight which mounts the front light differently. My gauge is relocated so that's



not a problem. I just need to know where I can purchase this and know that it will fit. Thanks in advance!

That could be a Cult-Werk fairing for V-Rod models that have been adapted to fit a Sportster. These fairings are manufactured from high quality glass fiber.

So that’s what I wanted it to look like but I need to know what year vrod I need and what kind of bracket adapters I need if any. It’s all just so up in the air and I already bought 2 fairings that don’t work. I’m down to get it made custom but it seems I can’t find anyone who wants to make a custom one even though I’m here in Dallas tx.

Cult-Werk supply three different versions of that fairing,

Stock code HD-ROD010. V-Rod "Night Rod" models from 2002 to 2011. EU319.50 ($348.46).
Stock code HD-ROD030. V-Rod "Night Rod" models from 2012 to 2017. EU319.50 ($348.46).

Stock code HD-BRO025. "Breakout" Softail from 2013 to 2017, EU220.87 ($240.99).




Why not contact Craft-Werk directly and ask them about the possibility of installing this fairing on a Sportster?

You might have to get a mounting bracket specially manufactured for you, it will be a more economical proposition than getting a complete fairing assembly specially manufactured.

I talked to them just now and they don't offer a custom bracket. I could probably have my welder fab one up, just sucks to have to buy a $300 fairing and not sure its going to work.

If you are prepared to buy a used example of the fairing, there is one for sale on the UK eBay website, the seller is in Wigan, Lancashire, he say's that the fairing was removed from a 2001 Sportster and it has a "shitty" paint job. However it does have possibilities for tidying up with the removal of that hideous sticker, a good rub down and a brand new paint job. It already has the brackets for mounting it to a Sportster headlight bracket.

The asking price is £24.95. ($32.79) or best offer, the seller will ship the fairing outside of the UK, but foeign buyers must contact him before completing their purchase.

The eBay item number is 145309659516.

Here are images of the actual fairing from the listing.

The seller of the above used fairing has just sent me an offer price of £17.50 ($22.26) plus £3.95 postage.

If you want me to buy it for you, I can and I can ship it out to the USA, just let me know if that's OK for you.

Below are some close up images of the bad paintwork, that can be easily sorted out, the last image shows that the glass fiber is good and thick.
