A couple questions on buying a Dead Center fairing for my 08 RKC:
Dragonfly Concepts states that fiberglass fades through the paint on fairings over time. Anyone with the Deadcenter fairing have issues with the fiberglass fading through the paint?I want to get the Deadcenter fairingbecause of the lock,though I like the Dragonfly better, but Dragonfly has me worried about the durability of the fiberglass products.
Are there any mounts available for storing fairings when their are not on the bike?I've seen a wallmount somewherethat holds both a windshield and a luggage rack. Haven't found one for a fairing, though.
All the fairings I've seen seem to extend over the handlebar clamp. Would this be a problem for stock handlebars?
How do the speakers sound compared to the stock HD fairing speakers? Better, same, worse?
I'm 5'11". What size windshield do you guys with the Dead Center fairing recommend that would allow me to look over the windshield and not through it?
Most importantly, do you ever use your windshield again? I'd hate to see a good windshield go to waste.
Thanks.

I have a friend who also has the quadzilla and it is NOT as well made. Another friend has the Df and like I said, not int he same league. Many HD dealers carry the Dead Centers as does Arlen Ness but I would just order it off the net. Installation is simple. You will need to run a neutral to the battery and power from your key switch and then zip tie the harness inder your nacelle for quick release. A Harley dealer can also match the key if you really need that...you will be getting rid of your windshield as did I and will rarely take off the fairing...
