Default detachable fairings

Hey guys,
I&nbsp\\;have been reading all the posts on fairings &amp\\; looking to get one for rk custom. I am trying to decide&nbsp\\;witch one to get. My problem is I am only 5' 6" &amp\\; worried I wont be able to see over it. Is one lower than the other? I saw&nbsp\\;wide open custom plastics makes one&nbsp\\;thats angled back and hoppe makes a sport model. I spoke to dead center today &amp\\; they dont make a&nbsp\\;sport model. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.

I got the Dead Center.&nbsp\\; Primarily for the lock.&nbsp\\; All about same size.&nbsp\\; No problem seeing through, over them.&nbsp\\; Different size windshields easy to change.&nbsp\\; You'll love it.&nbsp\\; I do.&nbsp\\; Sorry no pix, it's at the painter.

+1 for Dead Center, go by the dealer and sit a batwing bike, the DCC fairing is the same as a factory in almost every aspect.

used H-D fairings from the 80s are great and cheap.&nbsp\\; I got mine on eBay for $200 and took 2 minutes to install. It's identical to current H-D fairings but uses stock RK headlight nacelle and has no provisions for radios.
