Detachable Farings..............
I was reading through American Cycles Magazine and I saw a small ad for detachable Farings.
I thought maybe some you Road King guys might be interested in something like this.
Looks like it even fits on the bigger Softails too. [sm=smiley20.gif]

I've got one on order for my 2007 Road King. Seems after investigating all that were out there, DCC was the best for the money. I'll report back once I put it on!

RE: Detachable Farings..............
That's why we went with the RK in the first place. We didn't want the fairing. The detach w/s and the fork mounted deflectors work just fine for us.

if you don't need a radio mount, the early H-D fairings found on eBay fit perfectly, remove the 4 nuts at the detachable mount and attach. 10 minutes. they usually run about $200.

RE: Detachable Farings..............
No, you got the Road King because you did not want a fixed fairing same as me. Take the bike on a 2000 mile trip and check back with me on how well you like the windshield. The way I see it, with the quick release DCC fairing, I get the best of both worlds. If the price of it is a concern, most likely a Harley was not a good choice in the first place. I could not see putting a full fairing on and not having tunes also, soI took the plunge and ordered it with full stereo and HD color match.

RE: Detachable Farings..............
DeadCenterCycles is the one that is on mine.
NO, nuts and bolts to mess with for mounting or dismounting, NO fiberglass mounting brackets, NO twenty minute install and or removal.
All stainless steal mounting brackets that fit like a GLOVE onto the H-D Factory windshield mounting brackets.
This unit LOCKS on to andUNLOCKS off the bike with its own KEY!
ONLY takes SECONDS to put on, take off!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND, you get yours FULLY OPTIONED OUT, and painted with any factory color paint you want.
Then when it arrives you put on and RIDE!
You want the best don't you?
It may cost a bit more, but just like RJ's Orignal Heat Sheilds.... if you want to get the best you have to pay a little more for it.

Ok Ram, I can't do it in seconds but it actually doesn't take me20 minutes oreven 5minutes. I will time myself next time, but all I have to do is loosen up the 4 windshield acorn nuts, disconnect the power connection, slip the fairing off, and retighten the nuts. I am going to go out on a limb here and guess..maybe...two minutes? LOL. By the way, I don't disagree with pretty much anything you said. The biggest lesson I learned is to get them pre painted from the manufacturer. Painting it after you receive it is a potential black hole unless you or your brother in law is a painter.

RE: Detachable Farings..............
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! Do you know if the HD chrome windshield molding fit the DCC fairing?
