Default road glide conversion

I am interested in converting my 09 electra glide into a road glide by changing out the fairing. If anyone has an 06 or later road glide fairing assembly for sale let me know: alamosolutions@hotmail.com. I'll need inner and outer fairing, brackets, and gauges.

Has anyone done this? If you have and have some suggestions I'd enjoy speaking with you.

A few on here have done it. There are parts lists on here as well. Do a search for batwing conversion, etc. I would suggest using the 2010 or later bracket and side supports in case you want to use lower vented fairings. You also don't need to change out all your gauges.

The past two issues of American Bagger had a write up with photos of how to make this conversion.

You will need the headlight and radio bracket also. You can make your fairing wiring harness interconnect work but you will have to extend some wires. I've been waiting for the interconnect to come in since December, it's on back order until March 10th.

I did it, I got lucky and found a front end on craigslist the night of my accident.

It's so awesome now my bike was stolen. I just going to get a road glide this time.

Good luck with your conversion. I really liked it better.

Will the vented lowers from the electra glide work with the road glide fairing?
