Batwing Fairing Question.

There is a local guy selling a batwing fairing he started as a project for his Fatboy he's selling it for a steal of a deal never even installed it.
now my question is I have a 04 Roadking and the fairing is for a softail does anyone know what the difference is between the softail batwing and a touring batwing?
thanks in advance!

A batwing is made up of the moulding, plus a mounting kit. I would expect the moulding for both bikes to be the same, with possible differences in the mounting hardware. H-D don't make batwings for either of those models, so it is most likely to be an aftermarket brand. If you can find what that is, then take a look at their website to see if the show the difference between mounting kits.

Yes it is an aftermarket fairing that's what I figured the only difference would be the mounting brackets likely the distance the brackets are apart.

The soft tail and the RK should be the same width. The difference is the covers on the RK. Underneath all the nacell and side covers is the same front end.

The clearance around the headlight may be an issue also.

And I could be completely wrong on all of my thoughts here.
