I ordered the Quadzilla. Unfurtunately they sent me the wrong one. It is going back tomorrow. I'll post a pick and let you know how I like it after I get it, send it out for paint, install it and take a nice looong ride to try it out.

FYI. I looked (in persojn) closely at all 3, Dragonfly, Hoppe and Dead Center Cycles. After months of research I bought the Dead Center. My rationale was based on others I spoke to and met having had dealings with all 3 companies and the fact that the Dead Center Fairing can be locked onto my scoot, a feature neither Hoppe nor Dragonfly offer. That said, it is a matter of personal preference but Dead Center utilizes all of the HD accessories and windshields (I believe the other 2 do also). I like the Dead Center Stereo system bc I can plug my Ipod or Sirius radio into the front and it is an easy install. Is can be heard clearly at 80mph with a 3/4 helmet on! Also comes with a remote, a feature you wont know how handy it is until you aint got one. Here are some pics of my fairing unpainted. It is going for paint on June 5, more pics to follow. PS I bought this through Rice Lake HD in Wisconsin. They are a Dead Center dealer and if you call them early in the am, when they open they run a special that the first customer (live, phone or internet) gets 20% off one item and then that item is on sale all day! Call Brad there at RLHD and he can set you up. With a 20% discount it makes the DC Fairing much more comperitive price wise, but like they say you get what you pay for and I believe this fairing is top shelf. It i a poerfect fit and slipped on easily to my windshield mounts right out of the box!

Been thru all the different styles of exaust. stock pipes with slip ons true duals with 2 different sets of slipons put the supermeg on at the advice of my tuner, wewere able to get 71.5 hp 78 tq and 40 mpg . I will never go back great power with out being obnoxous from the saddle.

Well I researched these fairings quite a bit and ordered the Dead Center Fairing today, they even had one available already painted vivid black. I like the fact they will do the painting for you so when it arrives its ready to go on, decided to order it with the stereo too..only thing I may want to darken the speaker grills but we'll see when I actually have it on how I feel about it. I'd say if you don't care about the locking capability then its pretty much do you want 2 or 4 speaker look because the quadzilla owners seem as happy as the Dead Center guys.

Since you asked, all that I can aske is:

Don't you want it to "LOCK"?

If your answer is "Yes" the only choice is: Dead Center Cycles....

I'm running on and Love it.

Photo below on the signature file and addition photos on Dead Center Cycles in the gallery.

Good luck shopping, if you chose Dead Center Cycles, I most highly recommend the fairing from them totally optioned out: Painted to your color match, Radio and Speakers installed - wired and ready all that you will have to do is attach the wiring harness to your bike power and ground then your able to put the fairing on and off in seconds to your wind screen front fork mounts....

Then you go Ride....

If you really want to know the details on all the problems that I have had with all the painting of my fairing you can do a search. But if your apainter you will have no problems going with out that option.

I cannot afford to sell my bike and then buy another one. I didn't know how bad the wind would blow until I bought my first HD. So I need to find a solution. I myself would like to buy a OEM fairing and have it wired in so I will have the best of both worlds.

Dead and Dragon seem like and good product!
