So Im at my local dealer today picking up some odds and ends and I pull in next to, what I thought was an M8 street glide special (it was backed in). Turns out after looking at it for a second it was actually a Road King Special which had a fairing.
I wish I had had gotten a picture of it as it may make it a bit easier to identify or met the owner but it was gone when I came out.
The fairing looked to be a one piece fiberglass unit, but it has NO cutouts for speakers or radio. Instead, in the place where the head unit would sit was a small opening to put things like glasses, a phone or smokes in. The opening had a small clear lip that kept things inside.
Ive searched and searched and from what I can find, almost every major player just sells their fairings with holes. It was not the shell like a Memphis Shades.
