Default Fairing 2005 road king....help
OK guys i have the fairing down to two(reckless,an Quadzilla)...that i am thinking about putting on my bike.Both fairings are made out of fiberglass...I was talking to some Harley guru's today an they said because the fairing is made of fibreglass that the mounting holes in time loosen up because of the vibration...anybody have any info on this
Thanks Rob

I had a Woody's fairing on my RK for 24k miles with zero issues. You will save money and get a great product from him.

I have a Wide Open Customs fairing made from ABS plastic and it works great.
Have put around 10,000 of use with it and no problems.

I have a Quadzilla that has been totally disassembled for paint three times, all hardware is still good and tight.
