Has anyone tried on of these, or even seen one in person. Impressions?

they look mighty sharp, but i'd be concerned if the naugahyde would hold up in weather extremes, as the foam backing may tend to break down also. just a thought.

I saw one on an Ultra, and it looked pretty nice. Didn't touch it, but it had a nice look to it. I still prefer the painted inner fairing. That's the best way to go in my opinion, and it's a lot cheaper than the softie.

SoftDash (foam and surface) is manufactured using the latest materials. Naugahyde (vinyl) is not used. SoftDash is made of 100% TPO (Thermo Plastic Olefin).
TPO is used in many applications, including Automotive, Marine and even roofing materials.
The TPO material is permanently bonded to a stock H-D inner-fairing using industrial adhesive during a proprietary process.

We confidently guarantee the SoftDash free from defects (including delamination and fading) for 10 years (ask a painter for a 10 year warranty).

SoftDash for FLH is $599.00 + core exchange, for FLTR is $699.00 + core.

Gloss paint, admittingly the original 'standard' to 'finish' the inner-fairing is a good looking, easily accomplished upgrade. It does have drawbacks; it reflects both light and heat back to the rider. It scratches, and quality varies upon skill level of painter and materials used. Costs also vary (H-D direct $429.95 primed, $529.95 color-matched for FLH, $795.95 primed, $995.95 color matched for FLTR) Your local painter may paint it, but you'll spend $350.00 for materials alone for a three stage paint at H-D and have your bike down while it's getting painted.

SoftDash, created as an alternative to paint does not reflect light or heat, is scratch resistant and is quality consistent, guaranteed.
