Default RG to Batwing
I'm sure I've seen this done on here before but can't find it in the search. Does anyone have a cost and parts list to convert a RG to a batwing fairing?

The Road Glide fairing is worth more than the batwing, you should be able to make money if you sell your old parts.

Thanks for the info, still unable to find a RG to Batwing parts list, everyone is doing the opposite.

"I'll tade all my batwing stuff from my ultra for your roadglide stuff."
It may be a while before I do it, but I'll let you know.

"Ummm why?"
I was on the fence when I bought the RG and after riding my wifes SG I think I would like that set up better.

Talk to me ScottieB, I've got an 08 Road Glide and am interested in the conversion.
