Default what fits what?
I have a 1989 FLTCU witch has had the original fairing removed. I am looking to fit a FLH style fairing to my bike.Can anyone can tell me what years i should be looking at for what i need? Again, I am not looking for the original twin headlight model but the single style batwing fairing.

I believe 1986-1995 had the same front fairing. I know 1996-2011 are the same. Are you sure your bike started out as an Ultra? I know they make an Electra Glide Sport, or something like that. It was before they called it a Road King.

I have an 88 FLHTC with the batwing & single headlight. I would guess that it would match.
Hatch.

I think your first answer is spot on. I have an FLHS Electra Glide Sport, which I fitted an older glass-fibre batwing to, making up my own brackets. It originally had a windshield, similar to the later RK and a binnacle on the top of the forks with instruments and headlight.

I tried fitting a late 80s batwing, but gave up because the electrics were too much of a problem! Depends what Yeoman has now for instruments and headlight how easy it will be to fit a batwing.

Harley briefly made a kit for the FLHS, with glass-fibre batwing, which prompted me to find and fit a secondhand one! So that is another possibility.

i have a custom paint job and would have to find a roadking tank and headlight tins. then have them repainted. I am sure my bike started out as an ultra because thats what it says on the title and the hand controls have all the buttons for the CB and radio. will try and post more pics. THANKS EVERYBODY!
