It's about a 1/2-3/4" and it makes no differance of any kind. I've seen people trying to say the wind comes through but it's pure BS.

I order 2 Fairing budgets with audio equipment including HI-FI and these are the prices for Model FLHRCI Harley Davidon 08 (Road King Classic 08) in Vivid Black color:

Dragonfly Fairing with hifi incluyed: 2191$
Woody´s Fairing with hifi incluyed: 1116$

I find no reason for one is twice as expensive than the other. Both are from ABS?.

I might be wrong but doesn't Woody's have a water resistant stereo with the marine "bubble" over it? I think that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Overall, the Dragonfly has the cleanest, custom look out there. Tell the truth, it might cost more, but it is the sweetest looking one out there!

Assuming by ABS you mean plastic, Woody's is hand laid fiberglass.

Yeah I didn't worry about it either until one cold evening I took my gloves off and put my hand down near the radio pod and felt the air coming up around there, I put the spacer deal in that I made and that took care of all the wind from that area.

(Sorry, no write, well in English).
My hope for a Fairing is running out. Now GOODYS told me that shipping to Spain, Europe) are $ 900. Uffff. In much. It is too much. Very. worth more than shipping the fairing.
U.S. Postal shipments hac not as great in Europe and UPS is a price too high.
It is more profitable to switch to a Sreet Glide, but I like to switch to RK and Electra when I want.

I guess It could I never really thought about that, but to be honest it fits pretty snug in there, but I guess it could vibrate some.

Another vote for Woody’s fairings. His prices are fantastic and his product is extremely high quality hand laid fiberglass, not plastic. My painter has done lots of aftermarket batwings and said that many require hours of prep time due to poor overall quality. The Woody’s product required virtually no prep, saving me painting costs. In fact the inner looked so good in black gelcoat that I didn’t even bother to paint it. Just hit it with some high quality wax and it looks great. I will probably paint it next winter but it really does look fine as is. In my experience his customer support is second to none. He answers every email and sometimes within minutes. Truly a great vendor and a great guy.

I will add that I also thought the gap between the fairing and the nacelle was a bit too much so took a round file to the four points on the fairing bracket where the bracket mounts to the bike until I had the fairing sitting just right. Not too difficult, but should be done before paint.

Sorry to hear shipping costs so much for you. For that price you could fly here and carry it back on the plane :-)

A Question no on TSUKAYU owners.
How well does?.
Are they strong?
Vibrate?
Do they make noises?.

My first choice would Woodys, but the problem is sending RAVEL. So I have to think about other options and other brands. Dragonfly is very expensive. A very high price.

Thank you.
