RE: tour glide fairing

I looked at Hoppe (right up the street) but look the shark nose vs. the bat wing. I didn't see any company that makes kits for the RG for the Softail(I have the Cycle visions for the hard bags) and I know they made mounts for the Vrod.

Direct bolt on, I'd have to say no. But throw enough time and money at it and anything is possible.

RE: tour glide fairing

You'll end up doing some custom fabbing, but not an impossible task at all. I converted a frame-mount Quicksilver to a Handlebar-mount on a different bike, just took some customizing.
