Dead Center, because of Lock.&nbsp\\; Bought new/used slightly off this forum.&nbsp\\; Great deal.&nbsp\\; Hit the net, and shop the deals.&nbsp\\; Sorry no photo, it's in being flamed to match.

I can't say anything about the Dragonfly. I bought a Dead Center fairing for my 2007 RK. Perfect paint, great service. The lock was a major factor in my decision. I can't imagine a better fairing being out there!

I know folks with both, and recommend Dead Center.&nbsp\\; The Dragonfly is very nice, but they do not seal the underside above the headlight, and my one buddy complains that his fairing shakes a little at highway speeds, causing his CD player&nbsp\\;to skip.&nbsp\\;

I went with the Dragonfly, I had it installed last weekend in Hollister. I only got to ride with it for the weekend and then took it off and tore it apart and shipped it to the painter. Dragonfly could match the colors because I do no have stock HD colors.
&nbsp\\;
As my bike was being worked on, I asked the owner/designer of the Dragonfly why he didn't offer a lock for the fairing. His simple answer was in 7 years, no one has ever called and ordered a replacement for one that has been stolen. However, he did say that there is a lock available through McGard Locks. It replaces the acorn nut with a lock that is similar to a wheel lock on a car with a key needed to take off/on. I don't have any pictures but will post once I get it back from the painter and back on the bike.
