Well I hadn't been on here much since the 1st of summer,now that winter is quickly approaching and I've gotten some ideas what I might like to do,I started reading the posts again.Saw this post and since I was thinking about a fairing,I read everyone.I think I had already imagined the pros and cons but I wanted to hear them from you guys.Since I've already owned 92 Ultra,I had some insight going into this purchase.I also had put a sound system on a previous bike cause we wanted some tunes.I liked that system,the speakers were basically the chrome buckets similar to the driving lamps w/pioneer speakers,an amp,inline volume control,etc. I sold thhat stuff after I bought the Ultra(wish I hadn't now)figured I wouldn't need it anymore but the bug hit me again as I always really wanted a RoadKing.I missed the tunes part,and I missed the protection the fairing gave us in the colder months,just cant say I was always in love with the fairing look.When I started seeing removable/quick release fairings I thought this might be worth looking into.After seeing some of the prices$1400 or so and up,I thought ....naw.Then when we were down in Fayetteville,Ar for Bikes,Blues&BBQ this fall,I came across a vendor that was selling them for $795 including stereo,speakers n wiring.They had a RoadKing,Softail,HondaVTX and some other models there so you could see what they looked like on.So I guess my point in this is that if your considering one but don't want to put out alot of money or may only want to use one periodically,this might be an option.Also I've been looking at some on ebay that go for around $200 or so(without stereo gear)that mount to your windshield hardware.
I found the brochure from Fayetteville,the web site is: wideopencustom.com

 

Mine finally arrived, only took 3 weeks and looks great on; only today it is raining its butt off and the temp dropped to under 45. At least it gives me a chance to wire it in properly and to install new RK II bars while I'm at it.

 

What kind of issues? I bought a couple of different height shields with mine. The biggest was 10".

 

The 10" and under at just fine, I made my own and put it on, then posted it here, Glenn called PM'd me with his phone number so I could call him, he told me that the fairing was not designed to take the pressure from a windshild that size, it was basicly a sail, 16" tall and way wide, he suggested that I cut it down, and shape it more like the one that was on the road king, anyway I took it off, put the 10" back on and noticed that it was diverting as much wind over my head as the larger one, he also suggested that if I wanted a windshield that diverted more air over/around me I look at some of the recurved windshields that are out there.

I like mine. Had it painted to color match blackcherry

 

I love the look of my Invicta Fairing... Just got it back from the painter today...

Now if I can only find speakers that fit it... 4.5" mounting hole no bigger then 6" grill... Anyone know anything decent???

My radio is 4x50 watt (200 total)
