Default RK conversion to Streetking

In a previous thread, I mentioned that I was thinking about trading my RK for a new SG.
Well, there is a seven grand difference and I am going to keep my RK.
Someone did mention converting my RK with SG parts and that someone on this forum had already done such a project. I've given this quite a bit of thought and it sounds like a good winter project. Will the stock wiring harness on my RK accept the SG fairing wiring with
all the instruments? If the person[s] who have already done this conversion would like to jump in with any help or comments, I would be indebted.

thank you,
Mark

it would be cheaper&better to probably sell your king and get a used street glide or just get a aftermarket fairing

I've got a Kenny Day fairing on the bike.
Works good but, the inside is ugly.

Yup. Quality is fine. Have not needed gloves yet BTW.
I'm just picky, I guess.

Talk to this guy Glenn @ http://woodysfairings.com/ Glenn used to do all the R& D work for Hoppe. He's as straight and honest as the day is long.
