Hey Ram,

Mine is on the way painted and ready to rock and roll out of the box. I will say I had to rob a bank to pay for it, but what the heck is a few more thousand on top of the 20K I have in her now. One thing I know for sure is that if HD had a touring bike with detachable everything, they would only need one model!
That would be the ****.

Do you know if the HD chrome windshield molding fit the DCC fairing?
Ronjo...
Fits like a glove, its on the front ofmine.

Well after many hours (days-months) of reading and asking questions I have just ordered the Dead CenterFairing for my 2006 Road King.

Many thanks to those who have posted information on the different types of aftermarket fairings.

And a special thanks to RAM for his emails to me with some very good points.

IndyRider,

You made the right choice.I went through the same dilema you did. After much research and hands on comparing with buddies fairings, I concluded Dead Center to be the best by far and still after owning mine for several months believe it to be the same. The guy's who try and rationalize howany other is better or even equal,have samepersonality traits as those who arguea Honda is as good of a touring bikeas a Harley!Apples and oranges!! Good call!!

Ronjo...

The DC fairing will be going on my RK also. After getting caught in the "storm" during Street Vibrations, the factory winshield doesnt offer much protection from the elements.
