Default ElectraGlide to Road Glide....

Thats right I said it. I have found a few good post on how to and even got a great parts list from Marc (thanks again). I have a few questions still. If i go without the turn signals is there a way to use my fairing lowers or not not sure if there would be any clearance issues. also the inner fairing assy. does it come with the glove box doors? looks like the parts are all seperate. Color match retail is around 900 dollars. cheaper to paint it with the outer fairing.

Be sure and compare the 09 parts with the 2010s for improvements: like the 2010 fairing location change. Some believe the change was made to fit vented fairings (Ultra fairings).

Don't you mean to say that all of the clone bikes ride in the front?

Anyways congrats on making the change and welcome to the best riding HD made.

The lowers can be made to fit but its really close. If you can get the 2010 fairing to frame bracket and the longer chrome lower fairing stays that would be preferable. Then they would fit perfect. The inner fairing does come with the box and doors installed.
