I didn't go with the Roadglide because I didn't need all the infotainment stuff. And I'll run the FXR fairing through the cold months and then switch back out to no fairing for the summer. Gives me the best of both worlds. Plus, I won't forget which bike is mine outside of the Starbucks...

I just had to trim the sides to clear the cans when turning lock to lock.

I used the Russ Wernimont brackets made for the Road King. Bolting it all on was simple. Just lots of on and off to get it all clearenced correctly.
