Default need a fairing

My dad has a 92 FLHS. He would like to have a bat wing. Does anyone know if the aftermarket fairings will fit the older bikes? They only list the road king and the softails. I know someone on here has the same bike with a fairing on his.

Default Any FLHS owners

Is there anyone out there that has this bike or knows if there is a batwing for the bike? Dad's bike looks good and runs great and just wants to update look without buying a new bike.

i have an 89 FLHS and did just that, although i am running an empty shell.......no radio or anything, just the stock speedo/tach assembly. i bought a fairing used off of Ebay for $50, painted to match, a couple lil home made mounts, looks alot like a streetglide

What year fairing did you buy? We have two sets of skins and are looking to repaint the bike and change out the seat. We have looked at my roadking seat and we think we can make it work on the bike.

the shell i used was late model. i wanted one with the three hole mount for the windshield, so i had lots of options when it came to my choice of windshield. by the way, i chose an 8" black.....i can look completely over it, and yet i have good wind protection, and that "look" i was after.
