Road King to Road Glide
I have a 2013 CVO Anniversary Road King I am thinking of adding a fairing to.
I have 2 ideas I am throwing around
1. DragonFly Concepts Detachable fairing. This is straight Fw solution
2. Road Glide Fairing. This seems to be more complicated. I do not want all the gauges and radio installed. I would want to keep my speedo tach were it is and then look to add speakers and GPS into the inner fairing and maybe see if DragonFly could integrate the speakers and GPS into my existing controls like they do on their detachable fairing.
Does anyone know what parts or seen a kit that only adds the Road Glide Fairing and Headlights ?
Also does anyone know if the 2015 Fairing and support brackets will work on a 2013 frame?

well I I thinking it might be more than I want to do and might just stick with my original idea of the Dragon Fly detachable fairing. Easier to put back to normal when I decide to sell it.

I just don't get it. I understand the flexibility if the King, but it's a KING!!! All you could do by adding crap to it is making it just another "thing" with crap on it!

You have a point, however I bought my FLHS new, because it looked like early dressers and was indeed the forerunner of the RK. It didn't take long to discover that the windshield was frankly awful and affected handling, so a batwing was inevitable. The tourpak came along a bit later, to improve capacity and - bingo! Better bike. As for a sharknose.......

...... ohh, that was unnecessary
....OP, trying to retro fit a shark nose on your CVO King seems foolish to me.
.... get a detachable batwing & ride that till ya wanna move up to a real fixed fairing ride.

I am looking the route of the DragonFly detachable fairing. I currently have Wild1 16" apes on my RK. I am not a huge fan of apes with a bat wing fairing. I do like apes on a road glide better that was one of the reasons I was looking at the Road Glide fairing.
