The lower's are standard Ultra lowers, I picked them up off E-bay with the hard covers for $325.00.
I went throught the buffiting fight trying to get that calm pocket of air we all want behind the fairing, The last thing that went on was the fork mounted air deflectors and they gave me the calm pocket I wanted. The fairing mounted deflectors are Freedom Wings and I'm happy to have them. when it get hot i can use them to actually dirrect air on me.

I love riding without the shield or fairing, i love riding with the shield or fairing, it takes me longer to retrieve the socket to loosen the fairing brackets for removal than it takes to remove the fairing, its a 5 minute process. so dress the bike to the ride.

I had planned on putting on a fairing - but after reading all the issues of wind turbulence I decided against it. I have ridden a couple of bikes with fixed fairings and just could not get used to the buffeting.
The windshield gives a much "smoother" ride IMO
If I need hand protection - I'll buy some type of temporary cover for clutch and brake
For a radio - I'll use an Ipod

I am going to check in to one of those Klock Werks Billboard windshields. Looks like that may just be the ticket!

I've got the quadzilla on my King for 2 years now. I originally bought it for the look (guess I wanted a S/G) and the tunes. Never a problem with the speakers by the way and they sound great. Having never riden with a fairing (I hated the windshield!!)I will admit it did take a little getting used to. It's a quick detacable with a water tight quick connect electrical hookup but Now that it's on it's not coming off.
I get a kick out of going to local runs and meets and seeing all the guys walk by my bike and then stop short and turn to tell me "Holy **** it's a Roadking!"
