Default Fairing Swap

Anyone ever switch out a Road Glide fairing for a batwing? I saw a new Electra glide that was orange and it looked great....switching out would be less expensive than a new bike....

Thanks for any input from anyone who's done this.

yes, it is not difficult. you just have to have the correct parts. All the wiring is already there. Go for it, it does not take long

I have a 07 ultra, would love to put a shark nose on it.

I wonder what the total cost would be to do something like this? Would give my 07 SG a different look for sure !

So much for the swap....$4,700 for factory color matched fairing and all the brackets I needed to do it.....

So I bought a '12 FLHTCU instead!!!!
