Default Front Fairing

I've thinking about installation a front fairing on my 07 RKC, AKA "Batwing". I';ve looked into several vendors. Has anyone seen or got one from this guys?

Do a search on here for "Road King Fairing" and you'll find a ton of information. I looked at and listened to just about every aftermarket fairing out there during the Laughlin River Run this year. Based on what I saw and heard there, and the many comments here, I decided to spend the extra bucks and ordered a Dead Center fairing last week. While the Tsukayu fairing looked decent, I liked the looks of the DC fairing better, and the sound system on the DC fairing was MUCH better. The only thing that I don't like about the DC fairing is the fact that they don't offer hand controls for the stereo. I'm sure I'll figure something out though.....

I just ordered a Dragonfly and am having it shipped directly to Firecap for ARC audio junk. I settled on the Dragonfly based on his recommendation. I guess they are set up to hold a little more weight than the others by the way the brackets attach inside the fairing. Anyway, he's going to throw in the audio, send it out for paint and I'm going to cruise down Rt 66 and put it on. Can't wait.

The DC and the Dragonfly are both real nice. I'm not sure who makes it, Hoppe maybe, but a buddy of mine has one called the "Quadzilla", it has 4 speakers in it and is a bad sounding mo fo. I'm pretty sure Hoppe makes it. The only one I don't care for is the Corbin and the Memphis Shades.

I have the Memphis Shades on my Road King Classic. I really like the look and it is a great alternative to save money as long as you don't mind not having music.

If you do search the forums i have seen a couple threads about them. havent heard much bad about them but never seen one. i have considered one myself but wanted to make sure i liked having a fairing so i made my own with out tunes. if you dont care to have tunes check out my pictures and you can see how i made my own. otherwise i think everyone has good things to say about each company. have heard people getting dragonfly that theres been a long wait getting the fairing.

I have a Tsukayu Fairing on my 2005 FLHRCI.
I got it 2 months ago, have been extremely pleased with it. Just made a trip from Louisiana to Phoenix AZ (3000+mi total). Really enjoyed having the fairing. My intentions were to switch back to windshield for everyday use, but I will leave the fairing on.
I am 100% deaf in my left ear but can still hear the radio pretty good up to 70-80mph. Love the USB Memory stick input. The Volume control that goes on the handle bars quit lowering volume, I sent Tsukayu an email and they sent me another with no hassle.
Ordered with Stock 5" windshield, lots of buffeting for me. Replaced it with a 12" bought on EBAY, 12" does not look as good, but function wins for me.
I am sure most of the aftermarket fairings are pretty good, I chose Tsukayu strickly because of price. I was real impressed with quality, my wife works at a body shop and the painter that painted it said it took very little prep for painting.
