Default RE: Adding a fairing

Got a EGS myself no radio man. Don't really want a stereo, I like listening to the sound of my bike as it goes threw the gears. I lean back and rap with the old lady every now and then oh I do like the extra guages, especially the Range indicator guage and the tach !

"....................My problem is no matter how many times I see the pics of Dead Center, Dragonfly, Hoppe etc. It always looks like the fairing sits higher then the HD fairings on Ultras etc. Is it just me or is it the handlebars on RK's........"

I think it is an optical illusion. The photo below showsmy now sold'07 Ultra andmy '05 Road King Custom with a Quadzilla. It is about the same height. I have measured the distance from the base of the winshieldto the top of the fuel tank on both and they are about the same. The photo shows that the Quadzilla leans slightly forward more. Don't pay attention to the headlight bezel protruding from the Quadzilla as it is a 3" stretched nacelle.
