Default 98 Road Glide Fairing

I am thinking about a front fairing for my 1998 FLHRCI and suggestions or thoughts?

...... do you want a detachable, or permanent mount ?
.... need to add some gauges & a different wiring harness to go permanent
........ adding a shark nose would do away with the King's big chrome headlight nacelle

Why did you list Road Glide in topic? Better off with a reasonably priced detachable such as Memphis Shades. Have one for my Road King and very happy with it.

You know what I will suggest...go for it. You will have to add the interconnect harness, drop the RK nacelle. Then you could have a King Glide. You should be able to use any fairing from 1998-2008, possibly later. The year of the fairing will determine which interconnect harness you will need. Also 1998-2001 will limit the radio to the Radio Sound, or early HK unit, but you could always add an aftermarket fairly easily. I would also strongly suggest that you upgrade the lights to LED also.
