Default Batwing on a RKC

Hey,

Has anybody here ever put a batwing fairing on their Road King Classic, I'm kinda wanting to put one on so I don't have have the gigantic windshield on there. If anybody has any pictures of it could you post that up and what brand of fairing it is.

Thanks

I just put a Woody's on my RK Custom, and it looks good. Great, in fact. Even my wife gave it a thumbs up, and she liked my bike with the conventional shield. I know that my King is slightly different than yours, but I would bet that you'll really like the result even on your Classic.

Here is a post that I did after installing my fairing on an 09 classic. Love it by the way. My only regret is that I would like a little more volume out of the system. Maybe amplified speakers?

Well.....not my thread, but I'll see if I can get some pics posted up early next week. I'm not so tech savvy!

After putting in on and riding for a day, AND deciding that it looked great, I took it back off yesterday to be painted. Should have it back this Friday since it's being done in Harley black. Pretty straight forward, so I'll just be down 3 days.
