I did it. You need to skip the first several posts. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...e-deleted.html

Wow, this is a blast from the past. I did what was mentioned here several times. I traded the SG for a Road King. Still have the King. I just picked up a 2015 Road Glide, and now I have the best of both worlds.

Can you delete the fairing from a Street Glide? I know I would lose the radio, which is no big deal. And I would have to mount a speedo and tach to the handlebars somehow, since I don't like the console mounted speedo. I would want to keep the cruise control. The other gauges are no big deal. So is it even feasible? Hopefully I won't get to that point. But it would make a cool looking bagger I think.

What it does with the air just sucks...I'm like **** it
