Default Fairing For Road King

I am helping a friend who wants to put a street glide type fairing on his road king. Has anyone done this? Do you have a brand to recommend? Thanks!

Yes, I was contemplating this very thing a while back when I sold the Krapasaki with it's big fairing.
I contacted JP cycles and asked them what they recommended. They said their best quality fairing was the Hoppe Vanilla Zilla.

I've seen the memphis shades stuff and was not impressed.

I've got a Reckless Fairing on mine now. Other than a few minor fitment (mounting brackets) issues its been a good one. Only thing I would change if I did it all over was I'd probably opt for the 2 6x9 speakers instead of the (4) 5 1/4's. The 5 1/4's aren't bad but after installing the radio and amp combo that I chose I believe the 6x9's would have been the better choice.

You might want to check out a Woody fairing as well. His aren't as cheap as the Reckless but he builds a excellent fairing. He is the original designer of the Hoppe Qaudzilla fairing.

I put a Woody's fairing on my 2011 RK. Glen is a great guy to work with. Check with him for your project.

Good luck !!!

Reckless. Good fairings. Horrible customer service. Better hope you don't have an issue; even if its their fault.

I know it's a personal preference but I never liked the look of fairings. I'm keeping my Road King stock with the removal windshield.

You can remove the fairing as fast as the windshield. Its the best of both worlds

I have a dragonfly very well built, lots of room inside, the unit is built around two stainless steel brackets that run the full length. I heard the customer service has gone to hell, I personally never had an issue
