Default Hoppe fairing question

I saw a Hoppe fairing for a RoadKing on Craigslist for a pretty decent price.&nbsp\\; I was wondering of anyone here has one and if they may have any issues.&nbsp\\; Particularly concerned about noise from rattling and shaking.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks in advance.

I really liked the Hoppe, but went with a Dead Center, just because it locks, and the Hoppe doesn't.

They are an equally good quality product as a Dead Center Cycles.&nbsp\\; I have the DCC for the locking option and I really did not want 4 speakers up front pointing at me.

When shopping for fairings I was as impressed with their pre-sale service as with DCC.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I think you will enjoy if your into that many speakers.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
No problems with DCC fairing rattling shouldn't have any issues with Hoppe from what I've seen they have good quality as well.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Just more speakers and not lockable.
&nbsp\\;
Good luck with your decision.

I have had the Hoppe for over a year and a half. No problems, no rattling, better sound than my stock Ultra speakers.
