Default Aftermarket Fairings Recommendations

I'm getting ready to purchase an Aftermarket Fairing for my 2008 RoadKing Classic.

Does anybody have any recommendations on what is the best buy.

Pictures would be great too.

Thanks

I had a DeadCenter on my '08 FLHRC from 1/08 till I traded it in 3/11. Had it painted and striped to match the bike (Crimson Red Sunglo) by DeadCenter. It still looked perfect when I traded it in. No fade, no problems of any kind. Had the Jensen radio they sold at the time (ok radio, nothing special but had great buffer so no skips on CD play) and two Polk audio marine speakers (darn good speakers).

I could not have been happier or more satisfied with the piece and the company. Totally positive experience.

It was removable, secured with a lock when on the bike, and once I got it I never took it off. Had that bike for 23000mi in the LV,NV heat and sun. Seems like a pretty good and lengthy test, which it passed with flying colors.

Highly recommend DeadCenter.

I've got a Hoppe Quadzilla fairing for sale. Vivid Black, upgraded radio (5030), ipod connection, 12v outlet, I think it has all available options. Only 900 miles on it and looks brand new. It's the one in my signature pic. PM if interested.

I've had a deadcenter for a few months now, and no regrets. It hasn't come off yet.
